Two players were ejected from Thursday’s LSU-Oklahoma women’s basketball game after getting into a scuffle during the first quarter.
The Oklahoma Sooners were leading the LSU Tigers 12-11 late in the first quarter, and Oklahoma was bringing the ball down the court. Beatrice Culliton and Sa’Myah Smith were fighting for position on the low block, and Smith shoved Culliton to the ground. Liz Scott came over to defend her teammate and shoved Smith in response.
Various personnel, including LSU coach Kim Mulkey, came over to break things up.
Things got chippy between Oklahoma-LSU 😳
