Howard seemed to be upset with Gard after he called a timeout with 15 seconds left while holding a 15-point lead. Howard pointed a finger at Gard before other coaches and players tried deescalating the situation. That’s when Howard appeared to take a swing at Wisconsin assistant Joe Krabbenhoft.

Players from both teams immediately got involved in the post game brawl.

After the game, Howard reportedly didn't apologize for anything that happened during the post-game handshake. Instead, he admitted that he was upset about the timeout call with 15 seconds left. Howard also said that Gard touched him during the post-game line and he felt the need to defend himself.

Social media users reacted to the post-game fight between the two teams.
