The Northeast Conference (NEC) Championship between the Bryant Bulldogs and Wagner Seahawks on Tuesday night, 8 March, was delayed by nearly 30 minutes after a brawl started between fans of both teams on the stand. The game came to a standstill when a skirmish broke out during a timeout with the Bulldogs leading 68-32 with 4:37 minutes to go.
The annual NEC championship took place at Bryant's Chace Athletic Center in Smithfield, Rhode Island, as usual, but with 4 minutes, 37 seconds left in the game, a fight broke out and punches were thrown with drinks and bottles being flung around during the commotion as well. The game was stopped and the teams went back to their respective locker rooms and it was resumed after a half-hour delay. The cause of the brawl is still unknown as cameras could not detect anything during the commotion.
