Kentucky and Georgia State gets feisty, player temporarily ejected

Georgia State took a page out of the same book as Western Kentucky. They came into the game fully ready to play aggressive, tight-on-ball defense, and if they fouled, they fouled. Well, a moment came in the game in which things got very feisty. Playing tight defense and with an aggressive style will lead to moments where frustrations begin to boil over. This happened when Amari Williams was undercut by Clash Peters of Georgia State.

The ref that called the foul quickly realized how dirty the play was and called the foul, ran in to make sure everything was okay, and as he was running in, he gave the "ejected" symbol and pointed at Peters. However, things got chippy quickly as Otega Oweh came in and bumped into Peters; Peters fell, and pushing and shoving resulted. Mark Pope, the refs, and multiple players ran in to break things up.

The refs deliberated about how to call it for a long time together. They came back with the multiple flagrant fouls on both teams with all of that off-setting. The only one remaining was Clash Peters' original foul and flagrant foul. All four free throws were made to make it a four-point swing for the Wildcats. It was originally announced that Peters had been ejected, and he had left the floor with an assistant coach for Georgia State. However, that must not have been clear in the dust settling of the ref's deliberation because he later checked back into the game.

He was booed by Big Blue Nation when he checked back in. They were not ready to forget or forgive the dirty play, even if the refs were allowing him back. It didn't take long for Peters to foul out of the game after an illegal screen of Koby Brea. BBN cheered as loud as they did at any point when he did. They waved to Peters and yelled for him to sit down.

It didn't take long for Big Blue Nation to figure out Peters has a strong Duke connection and is a Blue Devils fan. More to throw on the fire of the dislike for Peters.
