It happened quickly in a tussle on the floor over a loose ball.
Air Force's Hayden Graham was in the scrum wrestling for the ball with Colorado's Tory Miller, when he felt the sting of a bite on his shoulder during the second half of Colorado's 81-70 win over Air Force on Wednesday night.
Josh Scott scored 21 points and Josh Fortune added a season high 18 to help Colorado (4-1) roll to a sixth consecutive win over Air Force, but much of the post-game attention focused on the tussle that left Graham's right shoulder reddened with a bite mark and Miller ejected with 12:25 left to play for a flagrant-2 foul.
''I've never seen anything like it in 16 years of basketball,'' Graham said. ''He wanted to take a bite. It almost broke the skin. That's an interesting cat right there.''
Graham got up and told the officials what happened. They checked the replay and looked at Graham's shoulder before ejecting Miller from the game.
