Houston guard DeJon Jarreau has received a one-game suspension for biting an opponent during Saturday's game against Cincinnati, coach Kelvin Sampson announced Sunday.
Jarreau was ejected from the Cougars' 64–62 loss to the Bearcats after officials determined he bit Cincinnati's Mamoudou Diarra. With 6:16 remaining in the game, Jarreau dove for a loose ball, but while on the ground fighting for it, he bit Diarra's leg. Officials reviewed the play before giving Jarreau a flagrant foul 2 and ejecting him.
After the game, Sampson disagreed with the call and said Jarreau didn't bite Diarra. However, the coach released a statement on Sunday saying his postgame comments were based on a video he saw from an earlier part of the scrum.
