NC State reserve ejected for leaving bench during skirmish vs Virginia

N.C. State reserve Scottie Ebube was ejected for leaving the bench during a skirmish with Virginia's Sam Lewis.

The altercation occurred near midcourt in the second half of Tuesday night's game between No. 11 Virginia and N.C. State. Virginia's Sam Lewis and Wolfpack's Darrion Williams came together after Lewis appeared to push Williams, leading to offsetting technical fouls.

During the review, officials ejected Ebube for leaving the bench. The 6-foot-10 transfer, who had not played in the contest, was removed from the game.
