Buzz did threaten to pull his team off the floor.

Marquette coach Buzz Williams threatened to pull his players off the court when Jeff Xavier's brother came out of the stands to confront the referees after the Providence guard was knocked from the game with his eye swollen shut.

"I told the officials, `We'll leave, because that's extremely dangerous,"' Williams said. "I saw the guy coming out of the stands. Forget the game; I'm going to protect the guys. I'm going to protect those guys no matter what."

McNeal's responses are priceless:

McNeal said he didn't feel threatened by Xavier's brother.

"I just saw him come out onto the floor," he said. "And I thought about it and I was like, `Man, I don't think he's supposed to be out here."'

``I saw that all the time back in high school in Chicago," McNeal said. "But I've never seen it at this level."
