A fight between LSU and South Carolina during the SEC women’s basketball championship game on Sunday led to a lengthy delay and one fan being led away by security after jumping over the scorer’s table to get involved.
South Carolina managed to hold on to win the game, 79-72, and capture its eighth SEC crown in the last 10 seasons following the wild few minutes late in the game.
Both benches were essentially ejected from the contest following the incident that occurred with just over two minutes left in the game and South Carolina leading LSU 73-66.
Tempers flared after an intentional foul by LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson on MiLaysia Fulwiley turned into a near melee as another South Carolina player touched Johnson, who then pushed Ashlyn Watkins as she looked to be celebrating right in front of the LSU player.
That’s when South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso came out of nowhere to knock Johnson to the ground and players from both benches ran onto the court.
