There was no immediate word about what caused the confrontation or if any player was seriously injured.
As the teams walked toward center court following Bowling Green's 73-60 win in the Round of 16 game, Memphis’ Jamirah Shutes stopped to talk with Falcons’ player Elissa Brett. After a short conversation, Shutes appears to throw a punch at Brett's face. Brett fell toward the scorer’s table and onto the sideline.
Bowling Green coach Robyn Fralich didn't directly comment on the incident after the game, saying only that they were “figuring all those things out,” as far as what happened in the handshake line.
