So much for goodwill games. An exhibition basketball game between Georgetown’s men’s basketball team and a Chinese professional club last night (Thursday) in Beijing turned violent, breaking out into a bench-clearing brawl in which players traded punches, chairs were thrown and members of the crowd tossed water bottles at the Hoyas players and coaches as they sought shelter in the locker room.

The fight broke out with nine-minutes-and-32-seconds left in the game with the score tied at 64. The rest of the game was canceled by the two teams are scheduled to meet again on Sunday.

The brawl occurred just one night after Vice President Biden, in Beijing for a four-day stay to discuss U.S.-Chinese economic relations, attended a Georgetown game against and another Chinese club.
