The women’s basketball game between LSU and Oklahoma on Thursday got heated early. Two players were tossed from the game in the first quarter (Sa’Myah Smith and Liz Scott), after Smith shoved Beatrice Culliton, then Liz Scott came in and shoved Smith. Both sides were chippy early in the game.

Here’s the video of the scuffle.

Officials eventually went to the monitor to settle things out and issued double technicals, one for each player (Sa’Myah Smith and Liz Scott), ejecting both from the contest.

The scuffle started because Sa’Myah Smith and Beatrice Culliton were battling for position on the low block. At the end of a wild first quarter, Oklahoma led LSU 23-20. LSU’s Aneesah Morrow had seven points and two rebounds. Tigers star Flau’jae Johnson only had one point in the first quarter.

The first half between OU and LSU was chaotic, to say the least. We not only had players get ejected from both teams. But there was also a technical foul assessed to Sooners head coach Jennie Barancyzk. And there was a flagrant foul charged to LSU’s Aalyah Del Rosario, after she delivered an elbow to the neck Raegan Beers. That all happened before the end of the first half in Baton Rouge.

LSU stretched their lead to 63-44 with 6:33 left in the third quarter. And even though the Sooners battled back, the Tigers prevailed 107-100. Mikaylah Williams poured in 37 points to help the Tigers outlast the Sooners on Thursday night. Flau’Jae Johnson added 25 points and Aneesah Morrow pumped in 21 points for the Tigers.

There were three total technical fouls, two of them coming from the scuffle above, and Tigers head coach Kim Mulkey got one after a foul was called on Flau’Jae Johnson.

LSU improved to 22-1 overall and 7-1 in the SEC. Oklahoma dropped to 16-5 overall and 4-4 in the SEC.
