“There's no denying that Arkansas played a great game last night, and I'm not taking that away from them. But #55 Fernando Carmona blatantly stepping on my ankle and intentionally pinching it is sloppy,” Baskerville wrote on X.
“He proceeds to say ‘I got a b****** a***.’ Do better.”
Carmona, listed at £322, did not immediately respond to Baskerville's post.
