NC State reserve is ejected for leaving the bench during skirmish vs. Virginia

By The Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — An altercation near midcourt in the second half of Tuesday night's game between No. 11 Virginia and North Carolina State led to offsetting technical fouls and the ejection of one Wolfpack substitute. “The refs handled it well and handled it the way they needed to handle it,” Virginia coach Ryan Odom said. “They looked at the film. It’s a hotly contested game, and there’s a timeout called, and then there’s a little bit of confusion. And any time one team is in front of another team’s bench and there’s a timeout called, it’s just inevitable, something’s going to happen. And I think both teams have a ton of respect for one another, and so it wasn’t a big deal.” N.C. State trimmed Virginia's lead to 41-28 with 17:38 to play, but during the timeout that followed, the Cavaliers' Sam Lewis and the Wolfpack's Darrion Williams came together. Lewis appeared to push Williams, who retaliated, and teammates and coaches on both sides separated the players. “I was calling timeout and then whatever happened happened," N.C. State coach Will Wade said. "I didn’t get to see a good look at it.”
