While walking off the court after pregame warmups Thursday, Arizona State guard Torian Graham was caught on video flipping off the student section for in-state rival Arizona.

Graham went on to score 18 points in his team’s 91-75 loss, and then issued an apology after the game, blaming racial slurs for him giving “The ZonaZoo” a double bird in a now-deleted tweet.

“I [apologize] for my actions, there was racial slurs said, and I didn’t react the right way as I should. My apologies to the ASU program,” Graham wrote.
