Seven women’s basketball players ejected in wild melee as depleted West Virginia downs Duke

Losing more than half your team to an ejection can be a winning strategy apparently.

West Virginia topped No. 15 Duke on Friday night after a mini-brawl at the end of the first half resulted in seven ejections, including six Mountaineers and four of the team’s starters.

Those ousters left West Virginia with just five players for the second half, yet it rallied for a 57-49 win.

“I think that’s the craziest game I’ve ever been a part of in my coaching career, without question,” West Virginia coach Mark Kellogg said after his team improved to 4-0.

The skirmish broke out after the first half ended when Duke’s Jordan Wood blocked a 3-point attempt by Jordan Harrison to preserve the Blue Devils’ 23-20 lead in their matchup in The Greenbrier Tip-Off.

Wood chirped at Harrison while flaunting her muscles, which resulted in Harrison shoving the Duke junior.

A Blue Devils teammate came over and the pair both shoved Harrison, leading to a skirmish involving more than a handful of players.

Two referees quickly got between the teams, preventing further issue.

While the fracas only lasted several seconds, five West Virginia players, including four starters — Gia Cooke, Jordan Thomas, Madison Parrish, Kierra Wheeler and Carter McCray — made the mistake of leaving the bench and that earned them an ejection for doing very little, per ESPN.

If an enemy were going to topple a country and decided to disrupt the target county’s women by chemical means how would the chemicals be delivered?

Could it be that these girls are aware of being rowdy and permitted to be rowdy just to make the game more entertaining? The coaches would say they learned it from hockey players.

Towards the end of the video you can see the Dildo Blockers behind the announcers. You think that they could come up with some AI to keep them out of view, as they make the fans look like they’re in some kind of a jail.
