There were incredible scenes in US college basketball when a game was halted due to an Uber Eats delivery man who arrived on the court looking to drop off a bag of McDonald's to a customer.

The hilarious incident occurred three minutes into the second half of Loyola Chicago's clash at Duquesne, when referees whistled to halt the play.

Duquesne forward Austin Rotroff intercepted a pass between Loyola players Philip Alston and Jacob Hutson, not knowing that behind the play, a delivery person had come onto the court with a bag and a drink from Maccas.

"Is it an Uber Eats delivery or something there? He's carrying a bag of McDonald's. I'm actually not kidding, I think that's what's happening," a stunned commentator said on ESPN's coverage of the game.

Duquesne coach Keith Dambrot, who briefly coached LeBron James in high school, called it the "craziest thing I've ever seen".

"I really didn't see it, that's how crazy it is," Dambrot said.

"I just saw the video after the game. Our guys were dying laughing in [the locker room]. Guy had a job to do. He did his job well."

Security guards quickly ushered the man off the court into the stands where he finally found the fan who had ordered the McDonald's and safely dropped off the bag.
