After Utah Valley secured a win over New Mexico State on their home floor Thursday, the Wolverine fans stormed the court. As time expired and fans piled onto the area of play, New Mexico’s K.C. Ross-Miller zipped the basketball at a UV player. The ensuing fracas will become part of the narrative of court-stormings, a discussion that has persisted among fans and media members in college athletics.
New Mexico State vs. Utah Valley ends with fight
A scrum started after an overtime game in Utah, with both fans and players getting into the action.
Video shot by fans in the arena show players and fans getting into it on the court. At one point, an NMSU player is physically helped to his feet by coaches and teammates.
The real shame in all of this is the implication of the game should be more important than the post-game celebration. With the win, Utah Valley took over first place in the WAC, previously held by New Mexico State. With two games to play in the season, Wolverines fans’ adrenaline was at an all-time high.
