Thanksgiving week in America’s two most visible college sports tends to be night and day in terms of its differences. In football, it’s the season’s climactic week, loaded with visceral hatred and occasional fisticuffs. In basketball, it’s the laid-back, good vibes week of Maui, Atlantis and other tropical tournaments.
Two teams that certainly did not get that memo are Jacksonville and Robert Morris, whose Friday afternoon matchup produced the strangest game of the Division I men's season so far.
With 6:21 left in the contest, the 2-2 Dolphins held a 53-52 lead over the 1-3 Colonials in Moon Township, Pa. when chaos broke out. Jacksonville took a timeout, and jawing between the teams erupted into a scrum, with both benches clearing.
