((HT: UVU SBS))

This was the end of the game between Utah Valley and New Mexico State- and it wasn't pretty...


Here's a little more from the stands...

So, here's the deal...

The Aggies lost a 7-point lead in regulation and lost 66-61 in overtime...

NMSU guard KC Ross-Miller was the one who chucked the ball at Utah Valley's Holton Hunsaker and then...

Jason Groves of the Las Cruces Sun-News caught up with Aggies head coach Marvin Menzies:

"What was embarrassing was (Ross-Miller's) actions," said Menzies when reached by the Sun-News. "As far an anything after, I'm going to wait to see what their fans did, what the security was like.

"We were going to shake hands. The game was over. They had fans on the floor and our guys felt threatened by that. One thing led to another. The film doesn't lie. I'm just thoroughly disappointed with (Ross-Miller's) actions. I'm disappointed with the way he handled himself. ... Guys were trying to hit our guys, and our guys were trying to defend themselves. We had staff pulling guys away. It turned into a free-for-all there for a moment. There were 50-75 fans on the floor. Before I can pass judgement, I have to watch the film."


WAC Commish Jeff Hurd is set to review the tapes Friday morning...

FRIDAY UPDATE: Ross-Miller has been suspended for his actions on the floor...
