Lots of thugs and non-students in the SEC. At least the BIG, the ACC, the PAC-10 or what it was, and the Big East all have higher academic standards for their players than the SEC.
Am I the only one who enjoyed it? We pine for the "tough" play of yesteryears in the NBA and then clutch our pearls over this?
They're fighting for a conference tournament championship and things got a little heated; the Celtics, Pistons, Knicks of the 80's and 90's look at this and see a pillow fight.

I'll take obvious things for 200, Alex (or whoever is hosting jeopardy)
Shame that the one that initiated the whole thing wasn't penalized for the cheap shot she threw before Cardosa's retaliatory shove.
I do agree with Mulkey on one thing though. I wish it would have been Reese that Cardosa unloaded on. She earned a beat down with the crap she pulled throughout the game, along with Cardosa's hair.
I don't know who charles t is, but if you are going to quote someone, use their actual words. Kim said "let those two girls go at it" not them two girls. which makes her sound stupid. Other than that I don't care for her and that was a stupid thing for her to say period.
They thought they were at a Chuck E. Cheese or Waffle House.Ahh..the joy of good sportsmanship. Looks like something out of the old AWA:
6 ejected in SEC title game after S.C.-LSU tussle
Six players were ejected late in the SEC championship game after South Carolina forward Kamilla Cardoso shoved LSU's Flau'jae Johnson, sparking a tussle between the teams.www.espn.com
I'd like to see Cardoza's ejection cost them a win in first round of NCAA tournament. Just wishful thinking.
Tough play. When a player is driving the lane by placing their forearm in the middle of the opponent's chest to clear them out is not the way the game was intended. Backing in and or while lowering the shoulder into the defender's chest is a charge in both scenarios in my opinion. Bloody lips and noses is not basketball anymore.
It will hurt them but they're pretty deep. They'll prob only win their first round by 20 instead of 35.
None of this surprised me. The SEC turns a blind eye to trash talk and dirty play in all of their women's basketball games. Why would their tourney championship game be any different?
I could be wrong but the announcers said everyone involved will be banned from the first game
I heard some commentator on the radio say the women get away with a lot more trash talking then they do in the men’s college game.
He said the refs need to clamp down on that so situations like this don’t occur as frequently.
I wonder how much validity there is to that but it was food for thought.

....meanwhile in the Big X title game I watched both teams on more that one occasion give a helping hand to an opponent who had ended up knocked to the floor...
Not really. I mean the whole thing was embarassing, but the jawing and hair pulling, and shit had gone all game. Still I don't think anyone should be suspended for walking a few feet from the bench. NONE of those players got involved in the altercation, so no I don't think anything beyond the ejections (which IS the rule for leaving the bench) is warrented. The only thing more that COULD have come is if the SEC wanted to hand down some penalty as a message to their league, but we all know there is NO way they are going to smack their top two seeded teams going into the tourney. Now I DO think they should fine Mulkey for her comments afterwards, but that probably won't happen either.
Just googled to see if anything new was released on any punishment..... Nothing yet.
BUT. Found that Kim is doubling down on her stupidity. Saying that it is sexist the way the media is covering this.... That it isn't this big of a deal when men fight. LOL. Pretty sure that a bench clearing scuffle where a sibling comes from the crowd would be covered.
Dwight Howard scruffle with Greg Guard was heavily covered.
Keep showing your true colors KIM!

Kim Mulkey slams 'sexist' media coverage of LSU-South Carolina fight: 'It's so out of control' | Fox News
LSU head coach Kim Mulkey called out the media coverage of the fight that broke out during the SEC tournament championship over the weekend, saying its "a little bit sexist."
A bad look but honestly not that much happened. LSU player was frustrated and pushed away trash-talking USC player—IMO could be a no-call and definitely nothing more than a double technical.
Cardoso (who I like) was 100% wrong by pushing Flau-Jae down in defense of her teammate.
The others just came off the bench but weren’t actually fighting. Angel was the smartest one of all by staying out of it.
Meh except for Kim Mulkey‘s response being rather trashy.
