A fight between Robert Morris and Jacksonville during the Urban-Bennett Memorial Classic on Saturday led to both teams’ benches being ejected after players on the sidelines jumped onto the court to join the fray.

Nathan Breisinger, the former Editor-in-Chief of the Colonial Sports Network, provided context on what led to the fight.

Per Tristan Freeman of FanSided, a total of 17 players were ejected.

The dust-up happened with 6:22 remaining in the second half. All 10 players on the floor at the time were allowed to remain in the game.

Of course, a foul out in the final 6:22 would have resulted in 5-on-4 action, but that did not happen here.

Jacksonville ended up beating host RMU 74-65. Postgame handshakes did not occur after this one.

Jacksonville will finish out the Urban-Bennett Memorial Classic Saturday with a matchup versus Fairleigh Dickinson.
