Multiple players ejected after fight in LSU vs. Oklahoma
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 women’s basketball continues to dominate the sport, sitting at 21-1 overall and 6-1 in the SEC. The Oklahoma women currently sit at 16-4 overall, ranking them 6th in the SEC. LSU stretched their lead to 63-44 with 6:33 left in the third quarter.
So, we’ll see if the Oklahoma Sooners are able to battle their way back into this one. But currently, the Tigers have the Sooners on the ropes. LSU has already forced 16 Oklahoma turnovers, and there’s still 5:18 left in the third quarter. Mikaylah Williams has been special for the Tigers on Thursday, pumping in 22 points on 7 of 12 shooting from the field, including three of five shots from beyond-the-arc.
