least one other player was placed on probation by UNLV pending further review of the fight The suspension resulted from a melee that started with seven seconds left in Thursday win over USU night’s 124-9- 0 The altercarion began when Jeter butted heads with Utah State guard Gary Patterson Jeter then exchanged words with guard Kendall Youngblood before striking him in the face sending him reeling backward Patterson and Youngblood re quired stitches “This type of behavior will not be tolerated by any UNLV men's basketball player" UNLV Coach Jerry Tarkanian said Friday “Chris was well out of line We won’t want that kind of action again We hope the message is deliv- ered” Athletic Director Brad Roth-erm- el said UNLV was studying the incident to decide whether to suspend Scurry “I'm truly sorry about the incident" Rothermel said “1 apologize to the Utah State community and our own com- munity" Smith who was hit at least twice when he tried to restore order said the UNLV-Uta- h brawl might have stemmed from comments he made last year about Rebel players driving fancy cars He apologized for the comments shortly after making them State tonight" The only thing that is certain is the fact that Utah State Athlethis ic Director Rod Tueller UNLV counterpart Brad Rothermel and Moose Stubing the head official will file separate reports to the Big West offices “Determination of punishment and penalty will be initiated by the conference” said Tueller “I will initiate video tape as evidence if no one else does because the tape clearly shows intent and action that occurred There are some things that are not on tape that need to be addressed also" The Aggies will need to put the brawl behind them and concenoftrate on Fullerton's two-ma- n fensive duo of guard Mark Hill
