I would have bet my life savings that this would have happened at Semo before any other conference arena.

Also, wtf EIU and wtf OVC!!?? Friggin trash, both of them --

....EIU athletics director Tom Michael said in a statement. “The issue has been addressed with both the player involved for EIU as well as the Ohio Valley Conference with any disciplinary action to be handled internally. The player in question understands that this is not the type of behavior displayed by our student-athletes or our men’s basketball program and in the heat of the moment let emotions get the best of him. This will be a learning moment moving forward and we apologize to anyone that may have been adversely impacted by the incident.”....

So that's it? No suspension, not even an ejection from that game? So taking a swing at a fan might cost your team 2 FT's is all? That's what the OVC wants to set as the precedent?? If you happen to be up 15 in the final minute, it's open season on fans I guess.

The OVC is a fuggin embarrassment.

There IS a certain court side fan at Semo this needs to happen to.

Personally, I want to slap a couple of our own fans, but I understand the consequences. EIU has to suspend the player indefinitely. If not, I’d expect him to do the same when EIU comes to the SMC later this month. But in all honesty, it’s a terrible idea to have seats courtside because of just these possibilities. I preferred when our two lunkhead fans sat behind the opposing teams bench because my seats were far enough away. Now they’re in my ear at the games and whenever I watch the replays on ESPN+

Hodges back in the lineup tonite. 1-game suspension lol. What a fuggin embarrassment EIU is.
