Saturday's college basketball matchup between Lindenwood and IUPUI was interrupted when a fan donning a LeBron James Miami Heat jersey attempted to walk onto the court.
With 1:21 remaining in the game, the fan - later identified as YouTuber Young Mantis - tried to check in at the scorer's table. IUPUI coaches were quick to intervene, though, and Mantis was escorted off the court by security.

In a video posted by Mantis on X, IUPUI head coach Matt Crenshaw could be heard telling him they'd work something out at a later date before a security guard informed the prankster that he needed to leave.
