A brawl broke out Monday at the conclusion of a Division I matchup between Southland Conference schools Texas A&M-Commerce and Incarnate Word.

Texas A&M-Commerce beat Incarnate Word 76-72 in an overtime affair at the Alice P. McDermott Convocation Center in San Antonio, Texas.

However, the hard-fought contest took a violent turn as the two teams lined up for postgame handshakes.

It’s unclear what instigated the fight as the incident seemingly began just out of the frame of the ESPN broadcast. Coaches and players took over a minute to contain the altercation.

Texas A&M-Commerce guard Alonzo Dodd led all scorers with 20 points to go along with seven rebounds and five assists in his team’s win. Dodd came into Monday’s contest averaging just 5.5 points per game for the 10-17 Lions.

Incarnate Word’s Josh Morgan had a similar breakout performance with 18 points off the Cardinals’ bench. But it wasn’t enough to get 8-18 Incarnate Word a victory.
