An ugly brawl broke out following Saturday’s college basketball game between the Michigan Wolverines and Wisconsin Badgers. After Wisconsin won the game, 77-63, Michigan head coach Juwan Howard got into an altercation with Badgers head coach Greg Gard in the handshake line. After some tense words were exchanged and other players and coaches started to surround the two coaches, Howard took a swing at Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft, which provoked the brawl.

Howard was initially upset with Gard taking a timeout in the final minute of the game. After the game, Gard explained that he called the timeout to reset the 10-second clock to get the ball past halfcourt. Michigan was pressing Wisconsin's backups and Gard called timeout to reset the clock and put his players in a better spot.

"Apparently, he didn't like that I called a timeout to reset the 10-second call, because we only had four seconds to get the ball over half court," Gard said. "And I didn't want to put my backups, I had all my bench guys in the game, I didn't want to put them in that position of scrambling with only four seconds so I took a timeout and got us a new 10 seconds to help them get organized and get the ball in. He did not like that when he came through the handshake line. So I'll leave it at that, the tape will show the rest."

After the game, Wisconsin’s Director of Recruiting and Scouting Kyle Blackbourn took to Twitter to share some of his battle scars from the brawl.

Suspensions are expected. Fueled by another standout performance from Johnny Davis, 15th-ranked Wisconsin handled the Wolverines in the second half. Wisconsin (21-5, 12-4) held Michigan to a single field goal over a 10-minute stretch in the second half, turning a five-point deficit in a 15-point cushion inside the Kohl Center. Davis scored a team-best 25 points, as the Badgers have now won back-to-back games and five of their last seven to continue to show the NCAA Tournament's selection committee they're worthy of a quality seed. Wisconsin is in a three-way tie at the top of the Big Ten with Purdue and Illinois.
