Cincinnati forward Octavius Ellis has been ejected from Thursday's Round of 64 game against Purdue after giving a forearm shiver to the chops of Boilermakers center A.J. Hammons.
Ellis' absence will be devastating for the Bearcats in what's been a tight game against Purdue. He is Cincinnati's leading scorer, rebounder and shot-blocker.
Ellis obviously heard all the pundits saying that the Cincinnati-Purdue matchup would be a slugfest and just took that a little too literally.
