Fight ensues following conclusion of Thursday night college basketball game
Published:
A fight broke out in Fargo on Thursday night, following the conclusion of North Dakota State’s impressive 77-59 win over Oral Roberts.
The scuffle was prompted by a late steal and dunk in the closing seconds of North Dakota State’s victory. However, the slam didn’t happen until after the buzzer sounded, so the basket was waived off.
There didn’t appear to be any hard feelings in the handshake line until Oral Roberts head coach Paul Mills started yelling at a few members of the North Dakota State team. Then, things got heated.
Several in attendance captured video of the incident from Thursday night:

There’s a postgame fracas that may result in some suspensions here. WILD scene. Exactly what you would expect from a Paul Mills-coached team. pic.twitter.com/3ch8qHnUCK
