Absolutely hate to see this…Elissa Brett punched in the face after Bowling Green's #WNIT victory over Memphis
She fell to the ground after being hit but fortunately was able to walk back to the locker room with some assistance. Hopefully she's okay! pic.twitter.com/3UxtvJaUoV

She Shutes, but it costs them the game.
Hell of a way to end your college career.
Damn… no one defends the girl who got hit? Everyone just casually walking away
Smart. She loses her scholarship and gets a nice criminal record over this decision.
So much for sportsmanship. Is this what Memphis basketball considers acceptable behavior?
You can take the girl out of Memphis…
Whats wrong with her
Nothing worse then a sore loser in sports. Sucker punches while shaking hands is something that all 100 people in attendance will never forget.
Damn this is twice now this week a handshake line has turned into bad blood. What’s going on in women’s ball?
She’s just misunderstood
What is wrong with people? Just shake hands and move on like damn adults.
Is the woman who was hit okay??
She is a senior, so she won’t face any real consequences as far as her college career is concerned. However, the NCAA should place Memphis State on a five-year postseason ban to make an example of them for the rest of the NCAA schools to see. But sadly, they won’t do anything and pretty soon this type of behavior will become more or less accepted.
Sportsmanship is dead. It died a long time ago when the NCAA realized that taunting and other outlandish acts increased ratings, and they sold the sports integrity for the almighty dollar.
Those Twitter responses are crazy bad
Can’t believe Biden let this happen
Dang now when the DMV reviews her employment application they’re gonna Google her and see that she punched a girl AND lost the game.
I don’t understand the people who are of the mindset: “Why didn’t hear teammates retaliate.”
The girl threw a sucker then immediately retreated (like anyone who ever throws a sucker punch). Then her (Memphis) teammate wrapped her up even though this was already over. BGSU teammates retaliating at this point would have been escalation. Glad none of the BGSU women lost their cool.
The idea that her teammates needed to “defend her” at this point is wrong.
Escalation and proving toughness is not always the right call. We don’t need more violence.
I’ll take how I ruined my life for $400, Alex.
Memphis personified.
Sounds pretty on brand for Memphis.
I was watching the game and from the middle of the second on you could tell Memphis was getting upset. They play physical and the refs were calling the game tight. I was afraid something was going to happen during the final 3 minutes.
I think Memphis’ coach did a good job getting Schutes out of there before things could have gotten real ugly. Also the Memphis staff that stayed out on the court after the team was rushed to the locker room hugged a couple BG players. This was one player who when rogue after her last college game. I’m just exited for BG to host Florida on Monday.
as a BGSU student, talons up baby.
Can’t she be kicked outta college for this?
Garbage human
Good! I’m sick of athletes not getting held accountable for physical violence.
Why is she being charged with just assault when this should be assault and battery?
The real Bowling Green Massacre

This is the 2nd incident in women’s basketball in a handshake line.
5th year senior. Her college career was already going nowhere
Is there another angle?
Not great for women’s basketball. 2 incidents in the handshake line this week. You’re trying to get people to watch your games. The sport is already boring. But if people think the players are assholes, then they’re going to tune out.
No place for this gangsta shit in the game.
When I saw the name Jamirah Shutes I just knew…
If i had a nickel for every Memphis Basketball player with the name Ja that has been involved in violence issues in the past few weeks, I’d have 2 nickels…
Should have done more during the game rather than after
I wonder if Jamirah owns any koi? Jamirah’s koi could calm her down
Memphis resident here… we don’t want her back.
Imagine throwing everything away for the NIT
Don Imus has a saying for women ball players like her.
The only reason many of these people are in college is because of the scholarship and because they can jump and bounce a ball. They have no serviceable skills after their collegiate career.
BLM
What an embarrassment
I’m impressed by the actions of the rest of both teams afterward
That’s the most exciting thing you will ever see at a women’s basketball game.
She should also be charged with a Hate crime
Wow. Human garbage.
Disgusting display of toxic masculinity
