A Division III men's basketball game between Fitchburg State and Nichols on Tuesday night was marred by a sucker punch thrown by a Fitchburg State player late in his team's 84-75 loss.
With less than three minutes remaining, Nichols's Nate Tenaglia made a three-pointer from the corner to give the Bison a 76-63 lead. As Tenaglia was watching his shot go through the net, Fitchburg State's Kewan Platt runs towards him, appears to glance at the referee, and then throws his whole forearm into Tenaglia's face.
Here's another look at the whole game from the game broadcast:
Platt has been indefinitely suspended from Fitchburg State's campus, the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference announced on its Twitter feed. Platt won this week.
Platt's name does not appear on Fitchburg State's online roster or the team's statistics.
