Holy crap.  Derrick needs to be protected at all costs.

Derrick White was hit in the head by a spinning backfist on Saturday, new video obtained by TMZ Sports shows ... and it all appeared to be because the NBA champion was showing love for his alma mater.

White, a Boston Celtics star and a Univ. of Colorado alum, attended the Buffaloes' big rivalry matchup with Colorado State over the weekend at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins in some CU swag ... and, initially, it looked like he was enjoying the game without issue.

But, one witness in attendance tells us during the second quarter ... the hooper got into a bit of a verbal spat with some Rams fans as Deion Sanders and Co. began handling business on the field.

In the third quarter -- as it became clear White's Buffs were likely going to win -- the apparent arguing turned violent ... as you can see in our video, a man in a CSU hat and a Utah shirt swung his arm into the side of White's head.

The blow connected so hard -- it knocked the hat right off White's dome ... and a huge skirmish then ensued.

Multiple people raced in ... and while White was pulled out of the mix quickly -- nearly a dozen people pushed, shoved and put each other in headlocks for several moments.

Thankfully, law enforcement arrived before things escalated further ... and the scuffle dispersed. We're told White could be seen walking away from the area by heading up some nearby stairs.

We've reached out to White's camp for further information on the matter, but so far, we've yet to hear back.

As for cops, they tell us there was no police report filed regarding the encounter.

White -- who played at CU from 2015 to 2017 -- had been having a helluva summer up until Saturday's incident ... as he helped the Cs win a title in June and then Team USA an Olympic gold medal in August.

Typical LA fans hating on Celtics stuff since they're in Rams gears.

Surprise there are even Rams fans showing up in Colorado.

Hope DWhite is okay and will be ready by October

You apparently missed the fact that Colorado State's mascot is the ram, huh?

I never thought 'angry Derrick White' could be a thing that actually exists. 

On the subject of the fight:  looks like some probably-booze-influenced festivities at a college football game.  As long as nobody is hurt, nothing to see here.

Sounds unimportant/irrelevant if it's something I've never heard of then. Woops on my part here 

All I saw was "Rams fans" and Derrick White getting gushed and I'm panicked.

Need to get the gang back together in Boston ASAP. Routines are good for everyone.
