Off the top of my head I think they came after Perry Wallace.......at my age you have forced me to think way too early.....not enough coffee yet.......now I've got a headache
After further review(check computer) Wallace came to Vandy in '66 the F troop in 72.

Vandy had a great team in 1973-74 but flamed out in the NCAA, losing to Marquette in the Mideast Regionals. Maybe a BC powder would help this morning, lol.Off the top of my head I think they came after Perry Wallace.......at my age you have forced me to think way too early.....not enough coffee yet.......now I've got a headache

This was a game on 7-MAR-1992 between Sean Woods and Jay Price who were both ejected. Below is a article about it with interesting photo of the two of them watching the game together from the press room.
This one was related to a fight between Cotton Nash and UT's Sid Elliott on 15-JAN-1962. Below are some excerpts about it.
This was early in the game where Barkley was ejected by Paul Galvan for a flagrant foul. The date was 12-FEB-1983.
Yes, the game where Stamper was ejected for hitting Van Breda Kolff was 24-JAN-1972. Here's some background on that (but not much):
FYI, I searched but did not find any mention of a fight during the Austin Peay game (15-MAR-1973) between Stamper and Percy Howard or anyone else.
And as mentioned Stamper and Vanderbilt's Perry Wallace obviously never fought in a UK game because they never played each other in a UK game.
Neither did I find any mention of a fight betwen Marquette's Bob Lackey and Stamper. The closest I could find was the following account of Marquette's Larry McNeill taking a swing at Stamper. This was in the NCAA tournament on 16-MAR-1972.

Robert Horry had an issue with Martinez and let him get into his head which caused him to pick up a number of technicals in multiple game, but the noteworthy fight was between Horry and Reggie Hanson.

272 lbs. that was a lot to look at on the tape delays back then.This was early in the game where Barkley was ejected by Paul Galvan for a flagrant foul. The date was 12-FEB-1983.
FYI, I searched pretty extensively and did find mention of this incident, either between Tuohy and Hurt or Tuohy and Minniefield. Again, doesn't mean it didn't happen, just that I wasn't able to find the details on it.
FYI, the first thing I check to try to locate these types of things is to see what games the player played and check if any technicals were called. Tuohy played a total of 11 games vs. UK and only 3 of those were technicals called. The first was 28-FEB-1979 where Lavon Williams and Mississippi coach Bob Weltlich were called for techs. The second was 9-JAN-1980 where Weltlich was called for a tech and the third was 6-FEB-1980 where UK's Coach Hall was called for a tech.
So if anyone has any additional details which can better determine the game let me know and I'll search again.
One set of altercations which wasn't mentioned was the incidents between Tom Payne and Tennessee's Jim Woodall. Initially there was an altercation in Knoxville (on 16-JAN-1971) when Payne flipped Woodall onto the floor and was called for a flagrant foul but not ejected.
The return game in Lexington (6-MAR-1971) Payne fought Woodall again and was ejected near the end of the game.

I looked up the recap of the 3-15-73 game and found no mention of the "fight" either, but I sat there and saw it happen and heard Cawood call it.I will try to look a bit more to see if I find anything. The Box score shows Stamper played 13 minutes and had 0 personal fouls(I don't think T's were counted as personal fouls in those days.Yes, the game where Stamper was ejected for hitting Van Breda Kolff was 24-JAN-1972.

Noteworthy for you. But memorable for me was Gimel taking no crap from Horry.
Not too many games on TV, had to listen to cawood describe it on the radio
The technical they "mistakenly" laid on Walter sent him to the bench, if memory serves, when he was playing well and presenting matchup problems for the heels. Turning point in the game...
Very skeptical that honest officials could go to the monitor and come away assessing #40 w/ the T.
Do enjoy seeing Andre put the fear of God into pseudo-psycho rasheed
Yeah, but Shaq's dad was a former marine, and he outweighed Mash by @ 50 lbs, so it probably was a wash?
Reminds me of an old Flip Wilson joke about fighting midgets:
Ain't as easy as it sounds...had a buddy that got in a fight w/ a midget; damn midget bit him! And you know they ain't no taller than this (hand held at waist level)
Giving birth to the greatest NCAA chant/cheer, ever across all sports: "The Fly's open! Let's go Peay!"
Like calling off your pitt bull..."Easy boy; down now"
I always love this picture of Joe B holding Nance back.
Love reading about Feldhaus coming off the bench and chasing Elliott to Tenn's bench, trying to retaliate for NashThis one was related to a fight between Cotton Nash and UT's Sid Elliott on 15-JAN-1962. Below are some excerpts about it.
Stamper, who brought his meanness and toughness with him from Beattyville, unveiled a lightning, short-range right against Vandy on January 24, 1972, at Lexington when he suddenly decked Vandy guard Jan Van Breda Kolff. “Got tired of him pushing me around,” explained the quick-tempered mountaineer
I always assumed it was Perry Stevenson and a foul shot that would be the majority answer. He seemed intent of hitting that thing before it was even in the air.
