The Southland Conference suspended eight players Wednesday for their involvement in a massive college basketball brawl that followed Texas A&M-Commerce's 76-72 overtime victory at Incarnate Word on Monday night.

The brawl, which broke out during the handshake line, lasted for more than a minute and spilled across the floor as players and coaches from both teams attempted to stop the melee. It's unclear what sparked the fight.

Four players from each team were suspended for "flagrant unsportsmanlike actions," the conference said.
