Women’s basketball fans and spectators believe that Mabrey flopped on the play, and it shouldn’t have been a flagrant foul on Laney-Hamilton.
“That was a flop. I don’t know if the shoe throwing was intentional or not but Mabery was flopping here,” one fan wrote.
Other users on X/Twitter defended Mabrey, believing that the flagrant foul was the right call.
Both players continued in the game, as Mabrey finished with a game-high 30 points, including three 3-pointers, to go with two rebounds, five assists and a block in 35 minutes. Laney-Hamilton tallied six points, three rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes off the bench. She was ejected late in the fourth quarter for throwing her teammate’s, Jonquel Jones, shoe at Mabrey’s back during a play review.

“I feel like we’ve lost a bunch in a row, and we kind of know what we needed to do, and I feel like we had that energy tonight,” Mabrey said (Timestamp: 0:29). “And then, honestly, down the stretch we were able to get a couple stops. And I mean, Stewey, Sabrina, JJ, they were amazing. So, I’m just happy we were able to rebound and get out of there.”
