The semifinals game between Green Bay and Valparaiso in Monday's Horizon League men’s basketball tournament turned into an overtime thriller that even saw some action off the court.

Menzl took to Twitter after the game to explain:

Green Bay radio broadcaster Matt Menzel was just threatened to be ejected by official after Lowe's third foul. Wow. #MotorCityMadness #HLMBB

Wow. Green Bay play-by-play announcer Matt Menzel was just ejected from the game. #MotorCityMadness #HLMBB

Good thing he got back to business because this crazy play sent the game to overtime where Green Bay pulled away for 99-92 victory:

Thanks @ImCBarks it really has gotten blown way out of proportion. I didn't say a word to the official. Lesson learned, move on, go Phoenix!
