Nope, that would be the 1972 OSU/Minnesota game.

The floor at Minnesota is elevated from the fans, there were fans holding OSU players arms out against the floor and
holding them for other fans to beat on.
It was possibly the darkest day in basketball, until the rumble in detroit.

yeah i dont dissagree that was probably the worst in ncaa history. However, for two NAIA school's to get this heated was crazy, and the video in that report is only 15 seconds, it went on for 5 mins. There was no security at all in the building.

Sounds like a fun place to be!!!

the osu/minn vid is hard to fathom. i remember when it happened. the hard foul was one thing but the knee and the stomp to the head is still unbelievable to this day.

Was it a OSU that kneed a Minn player or a Minn kneed a OSU player?

[Raiderball]

Minn player (I think Ron Behagen) kneed Luke Witte of OSU.
If you watched the video you can see it right in front of the camera.

[The Flying Dutchman]

Wasn't Dave Winfield part of that fight?

dave winfield was on the team at minnesota that year. not sure of his role in the mugging though.
