The University of North Florida's basketball game against Austin Peay on Saturday ended in an ugly melee among players from both teams.
By that time, Aybar came flying in to try to block the shot and fouled Copeland as the horn sounded. Several Austin Peay players charged at Aybar, including Copeland, a member of the UNF team in 2018-19, and at one point Aybar was surrounded by APU players, with at least two appearing to take swings at Aybar.
There was no immediate report on what happened near the locker rooms and UNF coach Matthew Driscoll didn't mention it in a statement released through the school's sports information department. Statements from UNF Athletics and from Austin Peay athletic director Gerald Harrison seemed to indicate both schools are sharing the blame for the incident.
