Wisconsin guard Kamari McGee was ejected from Saturday’s game against Purdue after making contact with Purdue’s Trey Kaufman-Renn while trying to defend him. The incident occurred when Braden Smith came off a screen set by Kaufman-Renn, prompting McGee to run through the player.
McGee was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, which is considered excessive and severe contact that could potentially cause harm. While officials didn’t determine McGee’s intent to injure, the play fell under the category of “dangerous” or “punishing” contact.
The NCAA rulebook emphasizes that officials should assess whether the contact is “not clearly accidental” and whether it meets the criteria for a Flagrant 2 foul. The incident has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with some labeling McGee’s ejection as “embarrassing.”
