Louisiana Tech Vs. UAB Basketball Brawl Leads To Mass Ejections, Ridiculous Endi…
Share this: The Louisiana Tech University and University of Alabama at Birmingham basketball teams really should stick to hoops. The teams’ game devolved into a farce Thursday at Bartow Arena after a mass brawl and subsequent ejections left both sides short-handed. With around six minutes remaining in the second half and UAB leading by 13 points, the chaos came when UAB’s Hakeem Baxter started fighting with Louisiana Tech’s Jacobi Boykins. Players from both sides left their respective benches.

Krzyzewski technically is on a leave of absence after having back surgery, but that didn’t stop him from informing the players during a meetin... NESN.com
