A turbulent season for Memphis took another turn Saturday with the announcement of a suspension of two players.
Hasan Abdul Hakim and Zach Davis have been "suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules," head coach Penny Hardaway told the pregame radio broadcast before the loss to Utah State.
Davis (7.2 PPG) scored 10 points in his team's loss to North Texas on Thursday. Hakim (6.2 PPG) hasn't played for the team since Jan. 24. Both players were sent back to Memphis on Friday after they'd been traveling with the team.
Memphis was not very competitive in Saturday's game and eventually lost 99-75, dropping the Tigers to 12-13. Following Hardaway's best season with the program last year, Memphis was the preseason pick to win the American but currently sit in sixth place.
