As another extension of goodwill from Georgetown University to its academic partners in China, the university president traveled there this month with the men’s basketball team for clinics with Chinese students and a handful of exhibition games.

 

But as the Hoyas played the Bayi Rockets on Thursday evening, the game “deteriorated into a melee during which players exchanged blows, chairs were thrown and spectators tossed full water bottles as Hoyas players and coaches headed to the locker room at Olympic Sports Center Stadium,” Post sports reporter Gene Wang reported from Beijing.

I guess the Chinese team is an army team and has a reputation for dirty play. My son played college hockey goalie and said the dirtiest hockey team he ever played in college was West Point. Love to test those Chinese guys for roids!
