At this time of the year it is understandable if teams are a little more testy especially if they are on the bubble like the Texas Longhorns. To have a shot of making the Tournament this season the Longhorns need a big time win and they got it Monday night with a 61-59 upset win over No. 14 Baylor.
However, as important as the win is fans are going to be talking more about the bench clearing brawl that started after Baylor's Royce O'Neale appeared to incidentally elbow Texas' Isaiah Taylor.
Seven players ended up getting ejected from the game--four from Texas and three from Baylor. It's hard to see if anyone threw any punches in the video, but the rule is pretty clear when it comes to players leaving the bench. Leave the bench and you are out (I have no idea if it was just guys from the bench or what).
Taylor remained in the game and ended up hitting the game winning shot. After the game it was still pretty clear that there was a lot of animosity still.
