Montrezl Harrell throws punch during Louisville-Western Kentucky scuffle, ejected, suspended for next game

The probable first round draft pick lost his temper during the first half of an intrastate matchup.

No. 4 Louisville headed to Bowling Green for their first true road game of the year against Western Kentucky, and when things got a bit physical, Montrezl Harrell lost his cool:

When we look at it a bit closer, Harrell clearly attempts to throw a punch at WKU’s Avery Patterson. He doesn’t connect, and inadvertently clipped a ref in the process.

Harrell was ejected from the game and initial reports were that he would be suspended for the next game, as is mandatory for fighting ejections. However, it turns out Harrell was actually ejected for a flagrant 2 foul, which doesn’t carry a mandatory suspension. On Sunday, the ACC announced Harrell would be suspended for Louisville’s next game, against CS Northridge.

The Cardinals host Kentucky on Dec. 27.
