MADISON, Wis. – Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard had words for Wisconsin coach Greg Gard after the Badgers’ 77-63 victory Sunday and a shoving match ensued between the two during the postgame handshakes.
Howard then threw a punch at Badgers assistant Joe Krabbenhoft and a fight ensued with players and coaches.
Wolverines power forward Moussa Diabate and small forward Terrance Williams II both were among those swinging. The Kohl Center crowd shouted N-I-T, N-I-T after the teams were separated.
Gard had called a timeout with 15 seconds remaining, which seemed to anger Howard, who likely will face a suspension. Michigan hosts Rutgers on Wednesday and Illinois on Sunday.
