Flau’Jae Johnson’s brother reportedly arrested after entering court during brawl against South Carolina in SEC Championship

The fourth-quarter brawl led to multiple ejections on both teams.

The fourth quarter of Sunday’s SEC Tournament championship between LSU women’s basketball and South Carolina was interrupted by a lengthy pause with 2:08 to play.

After an intentional foul from [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag] led to some jostling, Gamecocks’ star Kamilla Cardoso knocked Johnson to the ground, sparking a bench-clearing brawl.

A fan — reportedly Johnson’s brother, according to The Advocate’s Scott Rabalais — entered the court by jumping over the scorer’s table. He was escorted off by police in handcuffs and arrested, according to the ESPN broadcast.

The incident led to multiple ejections, including Cardoso and every player on both teams who left the bench area and entered the court to join the brawl.

The brawl happened with the score at 73-66, setting up for a wild finish with both teams shorthanded. The players involved in the fight will be suspended for the first round of the NCAA Tournament, as well.
