Marquesha Davis of Ole Miss had her wig come flying off after a run-in with a South Carolina player—and both teams made a protective circle around her until she could fix her hair.

During the Ole Miss vs. South Carolina women's basketball game on February 4, the two opposing teams came together for a moment in a now-viral display of women supporting women.

South Carolina had the ball and was attempting to drive it in the paint when Marquesha Davis of Ole Miss, playing a tight defense, hit the floor, causing her wig to come off.


Immediately after players on both sides noticed, they formed a tight circle around Davis to shield her as she fixed her hair before resuming the game.

Once everyone realized what was happening, and that Davis wasn't injured, players, coaches and officials could all be seen smiling about the situation.

You can watch below.

As the video made its rounds on social media, South Carolina's head coach Dawn Staley took the opportunity to applaud players on both sides, writing:

"This warms my heart! My @GamecockWBB babies met the moment with the kindness and understanding I see everyday. @OleMissWBB were all locked hands in a united front."
"This is WBB at its finest. Love this! WE ARE WBB!!!"

Other viewers commended the players for putting aside their on-court rivalry to come together to support Davis.











South Carolina ultimately prevailed, beating Ole Miss 85-56, but we hope both teams walked away feeling proud.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
