Howard is seen attempting to throw an open-faced punch at Krabbenhoft, as the two teams were shaking hands at the conclusion of their game. The game ended  77-63 in favor of the Badgers after a timeout was called by Badgers coach Greg Gard with just 15 seconds left on the clock. Clearly furious, Howard had some words for Gard, but really took his frustration out on Krabbenhoft.
