Washington State head basketball coach Ernie Kent was hit by an object after his Cougars’ 88-81 double-overtime loss at Colorado on Thursday, according to a report.
The Spokesman Review’s Jacob Thorpe reported the news and says someone is in custody.
Ernie Kent was apparently struck by an object (heard golf ball & liquor bottle) thrown from the crowd after the game. Somebody's in custody.

The object glanced off the side of his head. Didn't seem to be serious. Kent still did all his postgame interviews, etc.

Kent’s Cougars were on the road at the Coors Event Center in Boulder for the game. It was their 10th straight loss — all in conference play — dropping them to 9-15 on the season and 1-11 in the Pac-12.
