A large brawl which appeared to involve at least a dozen fans broke out at a men’s college basketball game between Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and Saint Louis University (SLU) on Tuesday, causing the game to be halted for a number of minutes.

Tuesday night's Atlantic 10 basketball game between Virginia Commonwealth and Saint Louis was delayed for several minutes after a fight broke out in the stands. The Billikens were leading 69-63 with 1:10 remaining in regulation when fans seated behind the VCU bench were wrestling with each other and fell across several rows of seats and onto the floor.

The St. Louis Billikens were able to get past VCU, 78-69, on Tuesday night to pull into a tie for second in the Atlantic 10 standings but the real action took place behind the Rams' bench as fans duked it out in a wild brawl that caused a delay in the action while order could be restored.
