((HT: UVU SBS))
This was the end of the game between Utah Valley and New Mexico State- and it wasn't pretty...
Here's a little more from the stands...
((HT: thejadedsunrise))
So, here's the deal...
The Aggies lost a 7-point lead in regulation and lost 66-61 in overtime...
NMSU guard KC Ross-Miller was the one who chucked the ball at Utah Valley's Holton Hunsaker and then...
Jason Groves of the Las Cruces Sun-News caught up with Aggies head coach Marvin Menzies:
"What was embarrassing was (Ross-Miller's) actions," said Menzies when reached by the Sun-News. "As far an anything after, I'm going to wait to see what their fans did, what the security was like.
"We were going to shake hands. The game was over. They had fans on the floor and our guys felt threatened by that. One thing led to another. The film doesn't lie. I'm just thoroughly disappointed with (Ross-Miller's) actions. I'm disappointed with the way he handled himself. ... Guys were trying to hit our guys, and our guys were trying to defend themselves. We had staff pulling guys away. It turned into a free-for-all there for a moment. There were 50-75 fans on the floor. Before I can pass judgement, I have to watch the film."
WAC Commish Jeff Hurd is set to review the tapes Friday morning...
FRIDAY UPDATE: Ross-Miller has been suspended for his actions on the floor...

Ga Southern and App State Taking The Plunge To Sun Belt...??? (UPDATED)
Looks that way...
Sources close to one end of the situation in Statesboro tell OSG Sports and social media from the Winston-Salem Journal newspaper have both schools, rivals in the Southern Conference, pursuing the same in the Sun Belt Conference.
Tommy Bowman, sports beat writer for the Journal sent out the following from his Twitter: @AppTrailWSJ
Appalachian State will accept an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference this week, probably on Wednesday, according to a source at ASU
Georgia Southern, while currently not addressing anything resembling gossip, rumor, or innuendo, is moving on up- "sources" tell SB Nation's Steven Godfrey. Godfrey reports GSU will make the full move in 2015, with a transitional season in 2014 and no change to its 2013 schedule.
With FAU, FIU, Middle Tennessee, and North Texas moving to Conference USA, the new dynamic of the 10-team conference would be: App State, Arkansas State, Ga Southern, Ga State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, South Alabama, Texas State, Troy, and Western Kentucky.
This would also fall in line with the announcement being made introducing Brian Bohannon as Kennesaw State's new football coach for their fledgling program tomorrow morning on campus north of Atlanta. The SoCon is looking for members if the move of two of their heavy hitters is to happen and Kennesaw keeps their Atlanta footprint.
Here's how Southern ended their season...

Southern voted for a fee increase to fund any kind of upgrade, so it was a matter of time...
1600 UPDATE: Matt Yogus at the Statesboro Herald is confirming from sources on his end as well...
2100 UPDATE: Dennis Dodd over at CBS Sports adds that former WAC members Idaho and New Mexico State will be added in 2014 as well. This will give the new Sun Belt 12 teams and will allow for a two-division, playoff structure.
With the new playoff set-up, if the Sun Belt champ finishes as the highest rated team among the Group of Five conferences (the Sun Belt, Conference USA, the new Big East, Mountain West and MAC) it will get a berth in one of the new playoff bowls when the new post-season look starts.

Idaho, NMSU Screwed In New Mountain West Idea, Heading To Big Sky Country...?
((HT: CFT/Kercheval))
Ben Kercheval over at CFT has word from Mountain West Conference commish Craig Thompson that Idaho and New Mexico State can find another home when the football-playing members of their old conference, the WAC, except for them move over to the MWC.
The Mountain West is getting Boise State (except for football), Fresno State, Hawaii and Nevada from the WAC. San Jose State and Utah State will join the MWC in 2013.
Brian Murphy of the Idaho Statesman was at Thompson's state of the state where the Commish said: "We've informed them that they will not be members of the Mountain West. Go onto Plan B whatever Plan B may be..."
Conference USA...? Division I-AA...?
Interesting...
Thompson also said that he'd be interested in having an audience with Texas schools for their futures like UTSA, Texas State, and UTEP...
But he's also happy right now with ten schools...
Idaho has talked to the Big Sky Conference about every sport other than football and the Big Sky is interested in that notion. There's another thought that the Vandals could go independent as well...
