The top-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks went into their SEC competition last with the LSU Tigers looking to go into the ladies’s NCAA competition with an unbeaten record. They ended up just hoping to surface the videogame with sufficient gamers.

With simply over 2 minutes to go in the South Carolina’s ultimate 79-72 win, an deliberate nasty on LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson led to a scuffle at midcourt that saw gamers leaving the bench location and even household members leaping out of the stands and onto the court.

As the scuffle intensified, South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso pressed Johnson, leading to Cardoso’s ejection from the videogame (and suspension for the veryfirst round of the NCAA competition).
