OMMMGGG!!! Talk about being a SORE LOSER! This woman just sucker punched a player on the opposing team and then got herself charged with assault. This is not how you react to getting your butt kicked in basketball! ESPN reported on the actual details, saying the following:
A confrontation between two players in the postgame handshake line following Bowling Green's win over Memphis on Thursday night in the Women's NIT has resulted in a member of the Memphis team being charged with assault, according to the Bowling Green State University Police Department. Bowling Green is also conducting its own review of the incident."
Violence is never acceptable and our priority remains the health, safety and support of our student-athlete, who is recovering and doing well" Bowling Green Athletics said in a statement Friday. "This is an active investigation in conjunction with the City of Bowling Green Prosecutor, and no further comment is available at this time." As the teams walked toward center court following Bowling Green's 73-60 win in the round of 16 game, Memphis' Jamirah Shutes stopped to talk with Falcons player Elissa Brett. After a short conversation, Shutes appears to throw a punch at Brett's face. Brett fell toward the scorer's table and onto the sideline.
