    College basketball fans brawl as Saint Louis tops VCU in pivotal conference matchup

    A fight broke out in the stands of the Saint Louis Billikens men’s basketball team’s 78-69 win over the VCU Rams on Tuesday night.

    The incident occurred near the VCU bench with about 1:10 left in the game. Two men were seen on the CBS Sports broadcast of the game grabbing at each other and falling down a few rows as bystanders tried to break up the fracas.

    Security officers came up to try to break it up. The game, which took place in the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, was delayed about seven minutes before the action resumed. It is unclear if any arrests were made over the incident.

    When play did get back underway, Saint Louis closed out the game.

    The 2025 Supercross season got off to a bumpy start for riders Braden Spangle and Wyatt Mattson as they were both suspended from the third 250 race of the season.

    Spangle and Mattson got tied up during a jump in qualifying at Angels Stadium in Anaheim, California. The two began to brawl on the track and were nearly struck by fellow rider Anthony Castaneda and other bikers.

    Spangle and Mattson failed to make the heats in San Diego and only Spangle made it to the heats when Supercross was in Anaheim the first time to start the season. However, Spangle didn’t make it to the main event.

    On Saturday, it was Haiden Deegan who won the race in Anaheim. He finished 4.4 seconds ahead of Julien Beaumer. Deegan is second in points to start the season with Beaumer in first and leading by seven points through the first three races.

    Jordon Smith, Jo Shimoda and Cole Davies round out the top five.

  • Massive brawl breaks out at end of indoor soccer league match

    Massive brawl breaks out at end of indoor soccer league match

    A Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) match between the Milwaukee Wave and Tacoma Stars on Saturday descended into chaos as a huge brawl broke out between players.

    The Wave won the match 7-6 as 10 different players scored goals in the wild matchup. Milwaukee improved to 7-1-0 with the victory, and Tacoma fell to 1-5-2, but the big story of the night was the fight that broke out at the end of the match.

    Milwaukee’s Mario Alvarez scored his second goal of the season to give the Wave the win. The broadcast followed Tacoma’s Stefan Mijatovic as he shook hands with opposing players after the match. Mijatovic was shoved, which sparked the heated incident. Wave goalkeeper William Banahene appeared to be involved as well as he was being held back.

    As the dramatics ensued, Wave forward Qudus Lawal was pushed over onto his own bench. He appeared to address Mijatovic while standing on the bench. Lawal’s teammate Javier Steinwascher tried to get him down and deescalate things, but it took a while for things to calm down.

    Mijatovic broke free and appeared to chase a Wave player down into the tunnel. It is unclear what transpired in the tunnel.

    The MASL announced suspensions for the players involved in the incident on Tuesday.

    Mijatovic was issued a four-game suspension “as a result of his in-game and post-game conduct, and for making unprofessional, offensive and abusive language / comments in-game and post-game.”

    “In addition to the 4-game suspension (which will be served immediately), and due to the fact that Stefan Mijatovic was previously put on a league probation, Mijatovic will also be issued an undisclosed fine, two (2) penalty points and will need to complete an anger management course and provide the league with a certificate of completion,” the league said.

    Stars players Roman Torres and Luis Birrueta were issued a one-game suspension for the incident. 

    Wave players Lawal, Derek Huffman and Tenzin Rampa were also suspended for two games.

    “All MASL players, staff and league personnel are expected to always demonstrate professionalism and self-discipline, regardless of whether extenuating circumstances exist,” the league said in a statement.
