The Big Ten tournament is getting spicy.
Maryland and Michigan were playing in a quarterfinals game for the tournament that didn’t really seem like it was ever much of a contest.
Michigan won the game 79-66 and pretty much dominated the whole way through, giving them their third win against the Terps this season. But that wasn’t what the biggest story of the game was.
Instead, what stole headlines was Michigan head coach Juwan Howard getting ejected in the middle of the second half during a timeout after what seemed to be a heated exchange against Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon.
It’s unclear what the exchange was over, but it starts off with Howard yelling something at Maryland’s bench during the timeout. And then a crowd began to form before officials broke things up.

That was not a good look. It ended with two technical fouls and an ejection for Howard and on tech for Turgeon.
We don’t really know the details of what happened here, so there’s not too much to say. But, certainly, Howard will speak on this at some point. And when he does we’re sure to hear exactly why this all went down the way it did.
