D-III Basketball Player Hits Opponent With Brutal Elbow Cheap Shot

The Fitchburg State Falcons’ Kewan Platt, who was recently honored as MASCAC men’s basketball player of the week, put up 16 points, five rebounds, and four blocks in the school’s 84-75 loss to the Nichols College Bison. He also landed this disgusting elbow strike right to the face of Nichols’ Nate Tenaglia late in the second half:

Apparently, Platt was angry about a no-call on an earlier play, and decided to take his frustration out throwing this dirty cheap shot on Tenaglia.

Fitchburg State immediately suspended Plett indefinitely, and have banned him from campus in the meantime.

NEW: Fitchburg State has indefinitely suspended Kewan Platt and barred him from campus effective immediately. “His behavior is antithetical to our community values and good sportsmanship.” Platt is a junior and was the team’s leading scorer with 21 ppg. @NBC10Boston https://t.co/qXgznHWOAi
