Watch: LSU, South Carolina players get into fight at SEC title game

A big fight that broke out during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s SEC championship game between LSU and South Carolina at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greensboro, S.C. resulted in six players being ejected.

The battle between the two teams was testy throughout and things boiled over during the fourth quarter. South Carolina’s MiLaysia Fulwiley had stolen the ball from LSU’s Flau'jae Johnson and was called for an intentional foul after wrapping up Johnson. While heading to the bench, Johnson bumped South Carolina’s Ashlyn Watkins. South Carolina star Kamilla Cardoso then came in and shoved Johnson to the ground.

Cardoso was ejected from the game for her push. Four South Carolina players were ejected in all, which left the Gamecocks with only six players to finish the game. Two LSU players were also ejected following the fracas.

South Carolina won the game 79-72 to finish the regular season 32-0 and 16-0 in conference. For its part, LSU went 28-5 overall and 13-3 in SEC play.

Cardoso, who is South Carolina’s leading scorer, could be subject to discipline for the Gamecocks’ next game, which would come in the NCAA Tournament.
