VCU rightfully took center stage yesterday, but today, as the notebook continues to produce quality quotes, it's time to spin back around the A10 for some news.
<a href="http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/sports/college-basketball/uds-kavanaugh-suspended-for-year/nSmkx/" target="_blank">Dayton senior center Matt Kavanaugh was "suspended</a> for the remainder of the academic year as a result of
violations of the University of Dayton Standards of Behavior and Code of
Conduct." The 6-10 Kavanaugh was 9/0/5.9 last seasonm and was elected co-captain by his teammates.
<a href="http://daytonflyers.com/mens/basketball/news/?article_id=9238" target="_blank">Dayton also released its free live streaming schedule</a>, for those interested. Clip-and-save note: VCU gets Dayton on January 9. The Flyers play UAB on January 5, streamed at 7pm. VCU plays Lehigh in a 5pm contest (if you want to scout post-game).
Charlotte
guard DeMario Mayfield suffered a high right ankle
sprain in practice last week. He will miss the Niners exhibition against Pfeiffer (alma mater of former UNCW coach Benny Moss) but is expected to be ready for the start of the season. Mayfield finished third on
the team in scoring (11.2ppg) and second
in rebounding (7.0rpg) last year. VCU travels to Charlotte on February 9.
