There are no immediate details as to what started the fight, but at least one player threw a punch, as seen in the image after the jump.

Ed. note: Further video evidence has shown that Southern Miss forward Torye Pelham threw a punch at Ruslan Pateev's face, while the animated gif below only shows the retaliatory punch. Full video at the bottom.
