Stephen A. & Shannon REACT to the LSU vs. South Carolina ejections & scuffle | First Take 

All I can say is if we get SC vs LSU in the tournament, that will be MUST SEE Tv

Shannon criticizing Kim like he didn't try to get into an altercation with the Grizzlies 😂

101-3 over the last 3 years is crazy let’s start there ! 🤔

Angel said, “y’all ain’t messing up my NIL millions” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Chile, it was a PUSH. I thought punches were thrown, because media keeps saying a fight broke out. Anyway, Fla’juae apologized to Dawn for her part in it. Cardosa issued a statement apologizing, as well. Coach Dawn apologized to the fans. Punishments were handled out. Cardosa got the right punishment. Let’s move on after today.

Not make it white/blk thing, but Dawn teams has already been called thugs before. Imagine if Dawn said what Kim said. They'd want her job.

“Kim Mawnkey” 😂😂😂 Shannon accent is WILD ! 😂

The LSU player shoved an SC player first, and then the tall girl came in and gave a shove back. If you're short and shove someone, you can't complain if someone shoves you back and sends you flying into the first row. She shoved the SC player and tried to walk away like she didn't start something.

lol LSU coach throwing Reese in it is pathetic asf . Shawty was limping lol

Everyone needs to calm down 😂

LSU fan here. I like both coaches. The media makes me sick.

I was surprised by Coach Mulkey's comment. Coach Staley definitely replied correctly.

Shannon’s brother is a South Carolina legend too

Shannon was clutching his pearls when he heard Kim Mulkey's comments.😂😂😂

Kim need to stop with her attitude. Congratulations to Dawn and her girls.

Love to both teams, great game but I notice that today no one is talking about Reese pulling Cardousa's hair and throwing bows.

Crazy how she mentioned Angel Reese

No big deal ...Move on it was in the heat of the moment ....Good luck ladies

What a classy response from a coach....Staley!

BRAVO Shay... now THAT'S a take!!!! Bravo!!!

This is great for the women's game. Way more interesting than anything going on in the men's side😂

Mannn it’s March Madness I love it.

Dawn Staley showed amazing class apologizing for her teams actions, but what really impressed me was when she pulled Flau’jae aside and hugged her and spoke to her.

Watched the whole game...better than any mens game ive watched this year

Dawn Staley showed class and Kim Mulkey didn't. Flajuae Johnson brother was wrong for jumping out of the stands there's a time and a place for everything.

I blame the refs for letting the trash talk go on for too long…..by the time the dust up happened it was too late to tell everyone to chill

Please have these two go at it again.

This is a legendary pairing I'm sure we'll look back and realise how lucky we were to see these two airing on the same team at the same network

Those interviews are exactly why ppl like Dawn Staley so much more than Kim Mulkey

NBA players need this chippy competitiveness.

Thank you, Stephen and Shannon!

Mulkey is a sorry coach. Don’t bring another star player into this just because you didn’t like what happened. Your player started it, their player ended it. Mulkey is a perfect representation of why her team is what they are and the reason why they act the way they act.

Yeah the brother lost focus, but he quickly regained it when he actually ran up on big girl. He didn't want that tall smoke.. 😆

Hmnn. No mention of Angel Reese's flagrant foul that kinda fed into this. No mention of the fact that the LSU player threw a forearm into the South Carolina player that instigated this incident. She didn't even get ejected for the forearm either although it was very plain on the replay. A BUNCH of players ejected just because they stepped on the court, and yet the person who threw the forearm shiver got to keep playing.

Lsu coach just said pick on someone your own size... shannon trying to make this out to be more than it is.

Great passion from the women's game. At least people are talking about them. Sport is a battle

Don’t mess with Killa Milla💀🤌🏽

That was crazy but again, it was the heat of the moment and things just got hostile. And S/O to Dawn for showing class. All she wanted was great basketball and ik she’s gonna have a sit down with her team

The brother needs to be suspended for jumping on the court. That invites other family members to jump over and fight him, too.

Agree with everything Shannon said. It’s clear which coach is doing things the right way.

She also pointed out that the refs only called 2 fouls and that they lets things get to that point.

Resse protecting her bag 😂 but I love #4

Totally agree with Sharpe on this one. Classless and unfortunate comments from LSUs Mulkey

LSU coach would look so much better if she said no comment instead of what she said

Is this the same Shannon Sharpe that tried to fight the Memphis Grizzlies whole team while sitting court side? Talking about accountability? LAUGHABLE

Thank you for this analysis. Actually, Steven, F Johnson’s brother DID PUT HIS HANDS ON CAMILLA CARDOSO. This type of porous was of the barrier between the fans and players is demonstrated by and exacerbated by COURT STORMING. It must stop for EVERYONE’s safety, including fans.

Angel didnt want that smoke 😂

Well said Shannon sharp

lsu started this and no one is talking about that

Dawn has an amazing and quick PR team they got that tweet out QUICK

Dawn Goat ! Respect her response and apologize to the basketball community and moving on. And Kim not so much , it’s learning experience and we can move on . Wishing all the teams well ! Especially South Carolina 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is more action then the NBA “fights”

Yall giving her brother a pass is like telling someone it’s okay to steal because you’re broke 😭😭

I love how Dawn showed true grace n professionalism with her response 👏🏾 Kim disappointed me with that like why would you even wanna see that

Dawn Staley a North Philly native showed way more class than Mulkey..

I always like Shannon's comments. He makes it make sense. Period!😊

It's already March 11 and I am still wondering if we still do March Madness? Lmao

“Angel Reese ain’t running from nobody” but no where to be found to protect her teammate

I loved it!!

SHAY WELL SAID!

The pass that the brother is getting is crazy to me. This aint the streets...So he jumped down there to do WHAT??? Punch a woman a national tv? I agree on their takes on what happened but not the pass the brother got. Its all women down there so expect they can handle the situation without you bro.

The media is purposefully missing the point of what mulkey said. That girl is 6’7 bulldozing a 5’10 player. She meant she wish she would’ve pushed angel who is 6’3- a much bigger player. Cut it out Shannon

To say, " I give the brother a pass "says everything on your opinions on accouantablilty...there is no way he should have come onto that court.. he could have sucker punched that young lady or anything else.. That cannot not happen plan and simple... Fans cannot run onto the court to do what they want...

There are a few things you all missed concerning this incident. First, it started with the LSU player. She started it. Next the six-foot seven player retaliated by knocking the LSU player to the floor. When the scuffle hit no one seemed to notice the little point guard from LSU either punch or hit the six-foot seven player in the mouth with her arm, elbow or fist. If you go back and watch it all again you will see the little point guard rush in and strike the big player. As it was all breaking up, they showed the big player with a bloody lip. That bloody lip was from the little point guard. Next, the man who rushed down to quote unquote protect his sister broke the rules and should be treated like all other fans who leave their seats and rush to the floor. He should have been ejected from the game which may have happened. There were two other fans who started to follow him to the floor but were held back by security. Both of those fans should have been rejected from the stadium. If not for security, they may have made it to the floor and God only knows what might have happened. Can anyone imagine three men, especially the two that were held back, getting involved in the altercation. This would have been disastrous for the women and the sport. It's my opinion that the brother and the two men who tried to enter the floor should have been ejected and not allowed to come to the first NCAA Tournament game. I do agree that the South Carolina coach had a much better response than the LSU coach. Cheers! :0)

Hey taking up for a teammate will make you a leader for your team

We love a good rivalry.

I don’t understand why the LSU player that threw the elbow in the first place which started the whole thing didn’t get ejected as well. That’s some BS.

Thank you Shannon Sharpe!!

Angel Reese is a nasty player. She got away with a lot. The refs let it get out of hand.

Man say LSU started it and SC finished it in 2 ways. I love coach Dawn she’s the truth frfr.. LSU coach made herself look stupid. Ole girl brother bout to a big ticket and maybe etc. I agree with everything Unc said 💪🏽💯

lol these types of “brawls” literally happen like 3-5 times per nfl game

So when and if someone tries Angel in the tournament just remember the coach asked for it

Home girl shoved her at full speed that was on called for

Shannon I agree Thank you much for invoking the name of The Late Great Pat Summitt😊😊

Amen, Reverend Shannon Sharpe!!! You spoke my sentiments. Coaches need to be examples of professional behavior at all times. So sorry that the scuffle happend!

I played multiple sports over the years, and been in a lot of altercations on the court and field. No one EVER matches up by size when there is an altercation. You just go to the action. You never say to yourself “I have to find somebody my size to match up against” That statement that LSU coach made was unrealistic and dumb!!!

All Kim said Pick on somebody your own size and don’t jump into something that you not involved In Shannon doing to much. Is Basketball it happens …basketball isn’t always gonna be cute for either Gender

How wasn't Johnson ejected it was her initial elbow that started the whole thing

Soooo.... "bumped" is apparently what we're now calling throwing a forearm at someone's head. Good to know. I also notice how it was completely ignored that HVL came in and tried to shove Cardoso to the ground (and failed, what with Cardoso being huge, but she still tried).

Shannon is absolutely correct!! Congratulations to Dawn Staley, showed CLASS!!! She's not interested in fights, she apologized, unlike Kim M. very poor response.

My issue is why officials didn't suspend Johnson who didn't get ejected .Since she started this whole thing with her intentional foul then pushing Watkins ?🙄

Thank you, guys. This is the second time I've heard Stephen A. Smith mentioned our team. We have a great coach in Dawn Staley. The epitome of class. We are proud of our girls. They are champions. Go, Lady Gamecocks!!!

What a different game this was than the Big Ten game. It was like Night and Day!🤔😂😂

They'll see each other again in the national championship is going to be one of the most legendary games of the season will be more anticipated than any of the men's games just like last year

what did HVL think she was gonna do there🤣🤣

I agree 100%with Steve &Shannon #Accountable!!

One thing I miss in the analysis is the effect of what happened to Last-Tear Puar the day before on the LSU team. You want to win for her? You put extra pressure on the team. And shoving someone to the ground just one day after gets worse.

If Johnson had just only committed the intentional and stayed quiet, none of the ejections would have happened. I don't have a problem with the intentional; they are bound to happen at that stage of a game. As long as everyone walks away afterwards, just send the player to the line for the shots and call it a day.

I think she meant like when angel was hitting her and pulling her and other stuff y she didn't reacted but i think Cardoso pot boiled over she had enough . The push was a little extreme she has work on them emotion. Everyone always saying kamilla too soft and want her to be more aggressive well she doing that for sure she just need to work on them outburst emotion. We know kamilla is one of the sweetest persons to be around.

Mad respect for Shannon on this topic is 100 percent right.

women’s basketball got a bonafide superstar in clark and now a fight? this is good for women’s hoops it’s all about star power and storylines that sell

Aint nobody afraid of angel Reese 😂😂

I love what Coach Dawn Staley said and smh Coach smh nah that was not what a coach should say I agree with Unc

Good sh!t Shannon!

Shannon you’re 100% correct!!! Also Kamilla was wrong, but watching Kamilla she is not that kind of person. She is big and was running towards the scuffle and with her size she had no idea the push was going to have such an affect on Flau’jae. Also it was push, yes hard but a push,not a fight.

I agree with their criticisms of the LSU coach, but I disagree with their dismissiveness of the brother who jumped on to the court. He should be fined and banned from attending games.

I can’t believe they making excuses for the girl brother that jumped on the court..he should be in jail

Playground basketball brings me back to my teen years. The one thing I don't get is why shove someone when you're winning just goes to show the way these teams are both taught. Can't wait for the tournament.

Yeah! There games just got exciting! They need more games like that. 😅

The facts are clear. LSU #4 intentionally fouled South Carolina’s #12. Then the same LSU player shoved another South Carolina player #2. Seeing this, South Carolina player #10 overreacted and shoved the LSU player to the flood(for which she was rightly ejected). The South Carolina coach and player have apologized for their part in the event. No LSU player or coach has apologized but instead has said, they wish the alteration had escalated. Sad.
