Agencies
A men's basketball game witnessed something peculiar recently. In what came as a surprise, an Uber Eats driver went a little far while delivering food when he walked on court when a men's college basketball game between Loyola Ramblers and Duquesne Dukes was in progress.

The viewers, players and also the announcers could not believe their eyes when the delivery agent was just a few inches away from the players on the court. The incident, which happened during the second half of the match, was captured on camera.

While approaching the court, the delivery man held the bag up in the air and looked at the referee as if he was there for him. It looked as if the official had ordered a mid game snack.
