Credit: CBS SPORTS Mayhem erupted after No. 15 Wisconsin took care of Michigan, 77-63, on Sunday afternoon in Madison, Wisconsin. What began as an intense post-game handshake line exchange between Michigan coach Juwan Howard and Wisconsin coach Greg Gard quickly escalated to an all-out brawl that involved players and coaches from both teams. The madness broke out shortly after the final horn when Gard confronted Howard, who appeared to be slow to enter the handshake line, just near the scorer’s table. Gard physically stopped Howard from moving past him and the two exchanged words before tensions rose in a hurry. Howard pushed his finger into Gard’s face, which led to even more intense discussion before Howard took a swing at Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft and landed an open-hand strike. Things quickly escalated from there with players getting into a brawl. A fight broke out between Michigan and Wisconsin during the postgame handshake line. pic.twitter.com/AiWIwyzj8w — CBS Sports (@CBSSports) February 20, 2022 Michigan was pressing full-court late in the game which led Gard, whose Badgers were up 76-61 with only 15 seconds left in the game, to call a timeout. It seems that decision bothered Howard, which ultimately led to the tension postgame. Howard recounted telling Gard that, in reference to the late timeout, he would “remember that.” Michigan’s coach defended his actions by noting that Gard initiated contact in the handshake line. “For someone to touch me, I think that was very uncalled for,” he said. “That’s what escalated it. … At that point, I thought it was time to protect myself.” Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh, who addressed the media after the game, said he has been in contact with Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren about the incident and expects the league to act “swiftly and aggressively.” “We’ve got staff who have been affected and injured,” he said. “It’s difficult for me to compose myself in defense of our staff and our team, who did not instigate this event. That is clearly captured on the television feed today and I’m not sure what will take long to address this.” Michigan AD Warde Manuel apologized in response. “There is no excuse for any of our staff or student-athletes to get into a physical altercation with others regardless of instigating factors,” Manuel said in a statement. “I reached out and apologized to [Wisconsin administration] for the totally unacceptable behavior. We will review the situation more thoroughly and work with the Big Ten Conference as they determine their disciplinary actions and will determine if any further disciplinary actions are needed.”
