Memphis basketball player charged with assault for punching rival in handshake line.
Memphis Tigers guard Jamirah Shutes is facing criminal charges after punching a Bowling Green player during the Women's NIT game. The incident occurred during the handshake line after the game, and the cause of the confrontation is unknown. Shutes, who leads the Tigers in scoring, took an elbow to her face earlier in the game and played just eight minutes in the first half. This is the second handshake-line incident in women's college basketball this week, following a similar confrontation between Louisville and Texas.
