A college basketball game was briefly interrupted on Saturday after a fan appeared to try to check into the game wearing a full LeBron James Heat jersey.
With the Jaguars of IUPUI at the foul line, a fan was escorted off the court as he somehow reached the scorer’s table, and was ready to go in.
With 1:21 left in the game, officials halted the game while the fan was calmly ushered off the court and up the tunnel.
