A Mississippi Valley State cheerleader was removed from the game after confronting an Alabama A&M player during Saturday’s matchup between the teams.
With three minutes left in regulation, the cheerleader — standing on the baseline — does a maneuver and appears to make contact with a player.
Minutes later, the same cheerleader walked onto the court during a stoppage in play and pushed junior Dailin Smith.

Security and game officials met the cheerleader, who grabbed a jacket and was escorted off the court.
“The Alabama A&M coach, he’s fussing,” Caleb Brunson, one member of the MVSU broadcast said. “He’s fussing and cussing.”
Smith himself couldn’t understand the interaction either.
Still confused about this interaction 🤣 https://t.co/vq69eNfWhK

Alabama A&M won the game 70-68 on a last-second shot in double overtime by junior guard Messiah Thompson.
One of the players was apparently in the cheerleaders way (in her view) a bit when she did some sort of cheer kick on the sideline, so of corse she had to tap him and probs call him out for it.
Nah, she was in HIS way.
