LSU’s Sa’Myah Smith to be suspended after fight vs. Oklahoma


In the first quarter of LSU women’s basketball’s top-15 matchup with Oklahoma, the high-stakes, contentious gameplay turned into a fight.

After the whistle was blown, redshirt sophomore forward Sa’Myah Smith got tied up with an Oklahoma player under the hoop and shoved her forcefully.

Another Oklahoma player, Liz Scott, retaliated with a shove of her own. Both were ejected and will be suspended for the next game, per the SEC’s rules.

Smith will now miss LSU’s matchup with Mississippi State on Sunday.

In a still contentious second quarter, Oklahoma head coach Jennie Baranczyk was assessed a technical for her interaction with a referee. 

In addition, LSU center Aalyah Del Rosario was assessed a flagrant foul for another scrum under the basket.

At halftime, LSU led the physical matchup 52-42.
