March Madness 2025: BYU's Dawson Baker ejected for elbowing Wisconsin player in the groin

BYU’s Dawson Baker got ejected with just over three minutes to go in the Cougars’ second-round NCAA tournament game for an elbow to the groin of Wisconsin’s Max Klesmit.

Baker’s left elbow hit Klesmit in a sensitive area as Baker had the ball and was surrounded by two Wisconsin defenders. He got ejected after a review determined that he had committed a flagrant 2 foul.

A flagrant 2 foul automatically results in an ejection in college basketball. And any contact to the groin area that officials deem to not be incidental is automatically classified as a flagrant 2.
