Eastern Illinois' Kinyon Hodges disciplined 'internally' for swinging at fan

The top scorer for the Eastern Illinois men's basketball team will be disciplined "internally" after he tried to hit a fan in a loss Thursday, according to the school.

Late in the first half of Eastern Illinois' 80-67 loss at Lindenwood, guard Kinyon Hodges walked up to a fan sitting in the front row at Hyland Arena and swung at his face. The fan and another man sitting next to him immediately pointed to a ref who stopped the game. Hodges was hit with a technical foul, but he was allowed to remain in the game.
