How the Big 12 suspensions for Kansas-Kansas State brawl could benefit TCU
TCU men’s basketball will face short-handed Kansas and Kansas State teams later this season.
The Big 12 handed out suspensions to four players involved in the Kansas-Kansas State brawl during Tuesday’s game in Lawrence, Kansas, which will sideline a couple of them for future match-ups against TCU.
Kansas forward Silvio De Sousa was suspended 12 games by the Big 12, meaning he’ll miss both games against TCU. The Horned Frogs host the Jayhawks on Feb. 8 at Schollmaier Arena.
TCU is at Kansas on March 4, which will mark De Sousa’s final game in which he’s suspended.
K-State’s James Love, meanwhile, has been suspended for eight games. Love, who has only appeared in one game because of an injury this season, will not be eligible to play when the Wildcats visit the Horned Frogs on Feb. 15.
Other players suspended included KU’s David McCormack (two games) and K-State’s Antonio Gordon (three games).
TCU (13-5, 4-2 Big 12) is coming off a major victory over No. 18 Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The Horned Frogs return to action at Arkansas on Saturday as part of the Big 12-SEC Challenge. Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. in Fayetteville.
