Utah coach Lynne Roberts said her team experienced a series of "racial hate crimes" after arriving at its first NCAA Tournament hotel and was forced to change accommodation during the event for safety concerns. Roberts revealed what happened after Utah lost to Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAAs on Monday night.

Utah, South Dakota State and UC Irvine were all staying at hotels in Idaho even with Gonzaga as the host school because of a lack of hotel space in the Spokane area. Several years ago, the city was announced as a host for the first and second rounds of the men’s NCAA Tournament and there was also a large regional youth volleyball tournament in the area during the weekend.That left limited hotel space and Gonzaga received a waiver from the NCAA to allow teams to be housed in Coeur d’Alene.
