This was a game in which Nevada beat Carlisle. 72-47.
According to the Des Moines Register, there has as of yet been “no indication” as to the motive for the fight. The victim had a “serious enough concussion to render him unconscious,” and also needed four stitches, according to a criminal complaint.
“It’s a very unfortunate situation,” Nevada superintendent told TMZ Sports. “I’m happy they deescalated it. I thought our coaches and staff handled it well and got everyone out of there without it worsening.”
