The supposed to be friendly game between the Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team and China's Bayi Rockets on Thursday night turned into Brawl.
The exhibition game deteriorated into a brawl during which players exchanged blows, chairs were thrown and spectators threw full water bottles as Hoyas players & coaches headed to the locker room at Olympic Sports Center Stadium.
“Tonight two great teams played a very competitive game that unfortunately ended after heated exchanges with both teams,” Thompson said in a statement. “We sincerely regret that this situation occurred.” “We remain grateful for the opportunity our student-athletes are having to engage in a sport they love here in China,” Thompson said, “while strengthening their understanding of a nation we respect and admire at Georgetown University.”
