Texas A&M forward Solomon Washington may soon discover the consequences of provoking his opponents.
During Thursday’s practice session, a reporter observed Washington mimicking the celebration of Nebraska guard Keisei Tominaga.
“Next out to the court is Texas A&M, which includes an early Keisei Tominaga inspired celebration from Solomon Washington ahead of tomorrow’s matchup against Nebraska,” noted Eric Kelly of KWKT FOX 44.

Tominaga, a 6-foot-2 senior from Japan, has garnered attention for his energetic displays on the court, averaging 14.9 points per game this season with a 37.2 percent shooting accuracy from beyond the arc.
Video footage of Washington’s imitation quickly went viral, drawing criticism from Nebraska fans on social media platforms.
“Solomon Washington averages 7 points a game,” remarked one Nebraska fan. “I think he just made a mistake.”
Another fan sarcastically commented, “Nebraska tried imitating A&M by attempting to brick most of their shots but couldn’t muster shooting as poorly as they needed to.”
A third fan added, “This won’t age well.”
However, with the upcoming matchup between Texas A&M and Nebraska, the Cornhuskers have the opportunity to have the final say. Tipoff for the game is scheduled for 6:50 p.m. ET.
