Bryant upset Syracuse on Saturday afternoon at the JMA Wireless Dome, 73–72.
The result in and of itself is worth discussing, but the main storyline coming out of the game wasn’t the upset itself. It was the brawl that took place with seven minutes to play in the first half.
Syracuse guard Judah Mintz took a swing at Bryant guard and 2021-22 Saint Peter’s NCAA tournament hero Doug Edert. Edert fired a slap right back in Mintz’s direction, and both benches cleared.
Both Mintz and Edert were ejected from the game, but that was only the beginning of the dismissals.
