NDSU, Oral Roberts Players and Coaches Fight in Handshake Line

North Dakota State University beat Oral Roberts 77–59 on Thursday night. A last second dunk made by NDSU’s Maleeck Harden-Hayes caused the Oral Roberts team to get upset during the post-game handshakes.

Oral Roberts head coach Paul Mills began yelling at NDSU players in the line, which caused a bigger fight between the players and coaches.

Most of the players and coaches attempted to hold each other back during the scuffle, but the shoving match ended up lasting over a minute.

Players attempted to hold Oral Roberts’ Elijah Lufile back and head to the locker room, until he released himself from their grasp and tried to run back to the NDSU players.
