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
