'March Badness' at MSG

500 security personnel, including 33 surrounding the court. Several hundred ejections from the crowd of 13,826. Outside the venue, police in riot gear and reports of gun fire.

Yep, just another high-school championship game at Madison Square Garden.

Go here for lowish quality video of some of the biff.

My favourite line of the story:

No announcement was made from the public address announcer, but Hot 97 radio station DJ Enuff, who was emceeing the event during timeouts and breaks in the action, took it upon himself to berate the brawlers over the loudspeakers, yelling, "What the f--- is wrong with ya'll? Come on. This is a basketball game."

The other interesting thing was a female was coaching in the game. The first female ever to coach a varsity to the National Playoffs.
