An Eastern Illinois men’s basketball player will be disciplined “internally” after attempting to hit a fan during a game on Thursday, the school said in a statement Friday.
In the first half of the Panthers’ 80–67 loss to Lindenwood, star guard Kinyon Hodges walked away from the play to a fan sitting in the front row at Hyland Arena and swung at him. The fan and another individual sitting next to him quickly stood up and pointed at an official, who issued Hodges a technical foul but allowed the Panthers guard to remain in the game.
