HOUSTON, Texas -- For the past two months, Southern and Texas Southern have been battling neck and neck for the Southwestern Athletic Conference title.On Saturday at HP&E Arena, the two teams came to full blows.
An ugly brawl underneath Southern’s basket involving players, cheerleaders and fans saw multiple punches thrown and security storming the field.
The officials ruled a double-forfeit, but since Southern was winning the game 51-49, the Jaguars were awarded the victory and a share of the SWAC championship.
“I’ve been involved with basketball for 30-plus years, and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Southern coach Sandy Pugh said. “It’s an embarrassment.”
