DeJon Jarreau will sit for the Cougars’ Thursday night home game against the Tulane Green Wave after head coach Kelvin Sampson suspended the junior guard for his actions in the Cougars’ Saturday loss at Cincinnati.
Jarreau, who finished with five points and six assists in the 64-62 loss, was ejected late in matchup with a flagrant 2 foul after officials determined he bit a player while chasing for a loose ball.
Sampson disagreed with the call, saying after the game, “There was no bite” in the now-viral film initially circulated by ESPN he and his coaching staff reviewed involving Cincinnati’s Keith Williams.
