Lost fast food delivery man falls midway through the second half in the Loyla Chicago vs. Duquesne Division 1 game and is waved off by the umpire as he is determined to order McDonald’s
Officials at a college basketball game between Loyola Chicago and Duquesne were unexpectedly forced to stop the clock after a delivery man stepped onto the court mid-game to complete an order.
The delivery man seemed lost out of nowhere as he stepped onto the floor at the Palumbo Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with just under 17 minutes remaining in the second half of Wednesday’s game.
With the score 40-37 in favor of the Loyola Ramblers, the referee motioned for the individual to get out of the way immediately.

Lost, the delivery driver was told by the referee midway through the second half to get off the ground
Confused, the delivery man stopped in the square, holding a large brown McDonald’s soda and paper bag. He even looked at the referee like he was the one who was wrong.
“A delivery man just walked onto the pitch,” ESPN’s Sports Center tweeted.
It remains unclear who exactly ordered the food in the middle of an NCAA Division 1 basketball game.

Postgame, a college sportswriter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, shared an update on Twitter about what happened next.
“Referee came over and said it was a first for him,” said Abby Schnable. “The guy who was supposed to get the food is also on the video board. He got his MCDs.’
“The craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” said Duquesne coach Keith Dambrot.
“Guy had a job to do. He did his job well.’
