Early in the second half of Clemson’s first-round loss to the University of Michigan, Oglesby was called for an intentional foul after elbowing a Michigan student-athlete. The standby official assigned to the game asked the officiating crew to review the replay of the incident, and Oglesby was consequently ejected from the game. The public reprimand would have kept Oglesby from Clemson’s next NCAA tournament game if he had not subsequently forfeited his remaining collegiate eligibility.

“The committee carefully studied the incident involving Mr. Oglesby and the actions of the standby official assigned to the game, and determined that the decision to have the on-court officiating crew review the play and the subsequent decision to eject the student-athlete from the game were appropriate,” said Mike Slive, the commissioner of the Southeastern Conference and chair of the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. “The committee felt it necessary to issue a public reprimand because of the seriousness of this incident.”

Midway through the second half of Morgan State’s first-round loss to the University of Oklahoma, Ali was ejected after he flipped an Oklahoma student-athlete over his shoulder, resulting in that individual landing hard on the court. Ali was ejected by the game’s officiating crew. Ali will be suspended from participating in the next NCAA championship game in which Morgan State qualifies.
