Arizona wing Rawle Alkins and injured guard Kadeem Allen should have been ejected for leaving the bench during a scuffle late in UA’s game with Cal State Bakersfield, a Pac-12 spokesman said Thursday after receiving clarification following a request from the Star.

However, the players were not subject to a technical foul or ejection because they weren’t cited for fighting. NCAA rules say bench players called for fighting are to be given flagrant 2 fouls and suspended for the next game.Β
