Six ejected as tempers flare in LSU-South Carolina SEC title game

• Police escort away man identified as player's brother
• South Carolina hold on for 79-72 victory

South Carolina forward Kamilla Cardoso was one of six players ejected from the Southeastern Conference Tournament championship game after she shoved LSU's Flau'jae Johnson to the floor late in the fourth quarter on 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 6ft 7in Cardoso rushed in and pushed the 5ft 10in Johnson to the ground.
