Boilermakers coach Matt Painter said afterward game management personnel need to be better prepared to protect athletes caught up in the commotion.
Of the six major basketball conferences, four fine host schools for failure to keep fans off the court.
The second offense brings a public acknowledgement of an institutional problem.
The Big 12 fined UCF $25,000 for a court-storming following an upset of Kansas in a men’s game Jan. 10.
So we’re struggling in our conference with that.”Painter said schools need to take steps to keep order, whether it's roping off the court or creating a greater police presence.
