For yet another women’s tournament game, we witnessed some ladies acting terribly during a handshake line.
Bowling Green defeated Memphis on Thursday to advance to the women’s NIT quarterfinals, but things became violent after the game that caused police to get involved.
Following the contest, Memphis’ Jamirah Shutes and Bowling Green’s Elissa Brett stopped and briefly exchanged words before Stokes threw a punch that left Brett on the floor. She would eventually be helped to her feet to leave the court.
The Memphis team would be ushered off the court and into their locker room.
According to the Bowling Green athletic department, the incident has been turned over to the campus police department.
“Bowling Green State University Athletics does not make comments about active police investigations,” the school said in a statement. “Our priority is with the health, safety, and support of our student-athletes.”

The original incident started when Shutes took an elbow to her face with 24 seconds left in the first half.
Bowling Green coach Robyn Fralich said they were “figuring all those things out,” as to what happened in the handshake line.
Shutes, a second-team All-AAC selection this season, finished with 13 points in her final game with the Tigers.
