For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household." (Matthew 10:34-37) “None of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions."

[@VILJL]

An ugly melee broke out in San Antonio on Monday, February 19, 2024, after Texas A&M-Commerce went on the road and defeated Incarnate Word 76-72 in overtime. The fight took place as the two teams went through the postgame handshake line, though what exactly started the incident is unclear. Video showed players from both teams throwing punches and landing shots in a fight that started at midcourt near the scorer's table and made its way to the other side where fans were seated. One of the broadcasters said a manager's face had blood on it and another broadcaster reported a young girl in the crowd was hurt during the brawl. Players and coaches from both teams tried to break the skirmish up before it finally ended after nearly 90 seconds. (CBS Sports)
