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 on Tuesday, causing the game to be halted for a number of minutes.

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.
