Sounds like it was a fairly physical game and she didn't like it. Well, welcome to basketball.
Now there's some flawed logic for you... "It was too physical, so I'll get physical and sucker punch an opponent in the handshake line..." Whatever happened to the Golden Rule? SMH

I remember a couple of bloody noses, a couple of black eyes, poked in the eye, scrapes, scratches, split lips. Never thought about punching someone. Remember a game against a hated rival where when I fouled out it left us with four if I remember correctly. I think they have five left. Against them in football the guy across from me ended the game by punching me through my helmet, only had the single bar, and breaking my nose. That ended in a pretty good fight though. That same team usually had fights in their games. A few years later I was in a local bar, a couple of them came in, we recognized each other and we sat around drinking and all had a great laugh.

The Georgia WBB team was on thin ice against Iowa. Two major intentional fouls in like the last fifteen seconds. Georgia was still guarding hard (as they should have been) but then a Georgia player hit an Iowa player right in the face with an open hand jab, sending her to the bench. The refs consulted briefly and called it. Following the free throws Iowa inbounded and with four seconds left a big Georgia post shoved Caitlin Clark (nation’s leading scorer and arguably the best player) out of bounds with one arm, then followed her into the baseline out-of-bounds and delivered a two-hand shove that sent Clark on the floor clear into her team bench. Another shower of whistles and penalty flags. As poor of sportsmanship and egregious physical attacks as I’ve seen in a long time. If they never play again, I’m fine with it.
