Louisiana Tech Finishes Game vs. UAB with 4 Players After Bench-Clearing Brawl

Thursday night's college basketball game between Louisiana Tech and UAB ended on an ugly note as the benches cleared in an all-out brawl at the Bartow Arena. 

Due to mass ejections, Louisiana Tech was forced to finish the game with just four players, via AL.com (h/t SI.com):

The Bulldogs lost 79-70.

Per SI.com, UAB's Hakeem Baxter attempted to punch Louisiana Tech's Jacobi Boykins, which started the altercation. But most of the ejections were due to players leaving the bench, which is against NCAA rules.

UAB had just six players by the final buzzer, but it was enough to hold on for the win.  

On Friday, Baxter and Boykins were suspended for one game apiece, per ESPN.com. 

"We have reviewed the incident in last night's Louisiana Tech vs. UAB men's basketball game," Conference USA said in a statement, per ESPN. "Although the majority of the individuals involved were attempting to diffuse the situation, what occurred last night was unacceptable."

It is unclear at this time if any other players will be disciplined as a result of the incident.
