GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina forward Kamilla Cardoso was one of six players ejected from the SEC Championship game after she shoved LSU's Flau'jae Johnson to the floor late in the fourth quarter Sunday.
Gamecocks guard MiLaysia Fulwiley had stolen the ball from Johnson, who wrapped her up and was called for an intentional foul. Johnson bumped South Carolina's Ashlyn Watkins while heading to her bench, and then the 6-foot-7 Cardoso rushed in and pushed the 5-10 Johnson to the ground.
In all, four South Carolina players were ejected and the Gamecocks had six remaining.
LSU was left with only its starting five players after two reserves were disqualified.
