Everybody knows that Auburn and Alabama have a huge rivalry when it comes to football. But did you know that that rivalry extends to women's basketball as well?

It was on full display during an Auburn/Alabama women's basketball game in Tuscaloosa, Ala. last night when a large fight between the two teams broke out towards the end of the first half. Alabama's Breanna Hayden and Auburn's Tiger Hasina Muhammad exchanged punches during the scrum and 'Bama's Meoshonti Knight also got involved, going after Muhammad after one of her punches hit Hayden. It was a really wild scene and ended with all three players getting ejected from the game. The game's referees had to stop the contest for about 20 minutes to sort things out and to let everyone cool off.

You can watch the fight in the video above. Who knew the hatred between Auburn and Alabama ran this deep?
