South Carolina won the SEC Championship against LSU on Sunday, but it wasn't without some theatrics. Gamecocks star Kamilla Cardoso was ejected after a fight.
The SEC Women’s Basketball Championship was already going to be a heated contest between the rivals South Carolina Gamecocks and LSU Tigers, but things went overboard during the game Sunday. Gamecocks center Kamilla Cardoso and Tigers guard Flau’jae Johnson got into a skirmish in the fourth quarter after MiLaysia Fulwiley stole the ball from Johnson, who was later called for a foul.
With the clock stopped, Johnson pushed away South Carolina’s Ashlyn Watkins after the sophomore forward began to celebrate in her face. Cardoso came over and shoved Johnson to the floor, which sparked pushing and shoving between players as coaches began to break them up. At least one person came over the scorers’ table and onto the court to get into the brouhaha before getting whisked away by security.
The incident caused a 19-minute delay in the game with the undefeated Gamecocks leading 73-66. LSU'S LAST-TEAR POA STRETCHERED OFF COURT AFTER SCARY INJURY, SET TO MISS SEC TITLE GAME Cardoso, who was the hero of the semifinal game for South Carolina, was ejected from the game. Both benches were ejected from the game as well. The game ended with 5-on-5 basketball. Cardoso will likely have to miss South Carolina’s first game of the NCAA tournament because she was ejected for fighting.
