BYU’s Davies suspended rest of season

SALT LAKE CITY — No. 3 BYU has suspended sophomore forward Brandon Davies for the rest of the season for violating the school’s honor code.

The university announced the move Tuesday evening in a news release, and school officials said coach Dave Rose would address the issue following Wednesday’s game against New Mexico.

Davies started 26 of 29 games this season, averaging 11.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 24.9 minutes.

School officials said they became aware of the violations Monday. His future with the team and the university has not yet been determined.

The news comes three days after BYU (27-2) beat San Diego State in a Mountain West Conference showdown, and a day after the Cougars jumped four spots in The Associated Press poll.
