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.

That was barely a melee. Jeez, there was two pushes. I’ve seen worse at a CYO game.
Why not just glass? Or plastic barriers?
White chick instigated it with her taunting.
It’s women wanting to be men. Blame Trump I guess.
Love a good chimpout from a safe distance.
Don’t know the date of the picture but that’s him.
Well, I’m a little disappointed, I didn’t see any green cylindrical objects on the court...but, it wasn’t a WNBA game either.
weaves flying everywhere...
I listened to Imus for many years. Getting corporate sponsors to pay for his New Mexico ranch was the biggest scam ever. Much like Howard Stern, Imus got soft after marrying a young blonde. Sad.
I went to a women’s basketball game and a hockey game broke out.
Not exactly Kermit Washington and Rudy T.
Yeah that whole ranch thing was weird. Apparently it helped very few people and it was pretty much for him and his own family.
As if anyone really cares.
LOL he took the heat on that statement.

"Tired! Tired! Tired! Tired! Tired!"
Don Imus: I was right all along about Duke’s wymyn bassetball players!
Actually in this case, it was Jordan, Jordan, and Jordan.
Duke had a bad two weeks..Duke lost to UConn a week ago (and yesterday, UConn beat Air Force), and they lost to Virginia yesterday. Now Duke’s lesbians lost to WVU yesterday. At least Duke’s men’s beat Indiana State.
What started was a white player blocked a shot by a black player and the black took it as an offense.
