DENVER - Western Athletic Conference commissioner Karl Benson announced today that both Fresno State's and Louisiana Tech's women's basketball teams have been publicly reprimanded for violating the WAC's sportsmanship code in a postgame incident following their February 5 contest in Ruston.
At the conclusion of Louisiana Tech's 90-84 overtime victory, an altercation at center court resulted in a confrontation involving both teams.
In addition, Fresno State's Marnique Arnold and Louisiana Tech's Brietta Thomas have each been suspended for one game due to their individual actions in the exchange. Both players will serve their suspension in their respective team's next game. Louisiana Tech hosts New Mexico State tonight while Fresno State hosts Boise State on Thursday.
