Social media reacts to Kamai McGee ejection vs. Purdue

Kamari McGee was just looking to fight through a tough screen when he found out his day against Purdue was over.

The key Wisconsin role player off the bench was hit with a Flagrant Two and tossed from the Big Ten Conference showdown with the Boilermakers in the prime game on CBS Saturday.

McGee was completely shocked by the ruling, as there appeared to be no ill-will made towards hitting the Boilermaker player below the belt. Due to the height difference in the two, McGee was really just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Social media was up in arms over the move, which was discussed at halftime between the CBS studio crew.

Fucking pathetic. Straight to jail.pic.twitter.com/HnJhbfoMbG

That's an absolutely ridiculous and wrongful ejection of Kamari McGee. He's trying to battle through a screen and while there's contact, for that to get him tossed from the game is straight-up terrible.

Kamari McGee has just been ejected from the basketball game. It appears to be another hit to the groin call that clearly the refs deemed to be intentional.

What an egregiously shit call. He was trying to fight through TKR’s screen and is about nine inches shorter.

We need to…

That Kamari McGee ejection is the softest call you’ll ever see.

The refs just let Purdue get away with two plays with more contact and no whistle on the possession preceding that.
