An Urban-Bennett Memorial Classic game between Jacksonville and Robert Morris looked like an old-school Black Friday at Walmart when basically every player and coach got involved in a massive on-court brawl.
Punches were reportedly thrown and both head coaches needed to be restrained. That was just the tip of the iceberg.
Once the melee ended, the referees got together and decided to eject every player from the game except for the ones who were playing at the time of the brawl, leaving both teams to play the remaining time with no substitutions.
Per FanSided’s Tristan Freeman, the total number of players to be ejected was 17.

The game was delayed 16 minutes by a second-half skirmish during a timeout at midcourt. Both teams played the final 6 minutes, 23 seconds with just five players on each team.
Jacksonville went on to triumph 74–65 in the match. As the clock ran out, tensions persisted because the winning Jacksonville players refused to shake hands with the Robert Morris teammates.
No word on how many players will end up getting suspended from this fight but you would expect that all players will not serve those suspensions at the same time.
