Brandon Lee suspended
The Chicago Sun-Times reported this week that freshman guard Brandon Lee has been suspended by coach Bill Carmody for violation of team rules. The violation and length of suspension have not been reported.
Lee played on the Illinois High School championship team at Peoria Central last year with Shaun Livingston of the Los Angeles Clippers. Lee is averaging 1.8 points per game in nine games this season.
Freshman Gary Lee has also been ruled academically ineligible for winter quarter. Gary Lee was not expected to play this season and should be a redshirt.
However, the suspension of Brandon Lee hurts. The team depth continues to be a major problem and walk-on Michael Jenkins will need to see more and more minutes.
This effectively leaves Northwestern with nine players. If you don't count Vince Scott and Evan Seacat as contributers to the team, the depth for the Cats is at seven.
