A basketball game was happening between the Xavier Musketeers and Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday afternoon when a fight broke out on the court in the waning seconds of the game. Suspensions will likely be handed down, though it’s difficult to assume exactly what will happen as the NCAA and school officials sort everything out.  Read more and check the video out after the jump.
Xavier, the eighth-ranked team in the country, led much of the game and appeared to be closing the game out before the referees were forced to cancel the game with 9.4 seconds left in the game with a 76-53 lead after a fight broke out.
The fracas appears to have been started when Xavier’s Tu Holloway and Cincy’s Ge’Lawn Guyn began trash-talking, as per CBS Sports’ Jeff Goodman, but the end result was much worse —  as video below will show.
Cincinnati’s Yancy Gates will probably come out looking the worst as he sucker-punchedKenny Frease while officials were trying to break up the fight, but multiple suspensions are likely. Gates had a solid game prior to that, too, as he scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds before ending the game on an ugly note.
