@ESPNAndyKatz: St John's announces Chris Obekpa suspended 2 weeks. Won't be available until March 29 if Red Storm still playing. Vital info for committee.

My understanding is that a team may lose out on seeding due to a player not being able to play but will not be left out of the field. Not that St John's would be left out but this will probably affect their seeding. May even help Xavier.

SJU won't be better than an 11 seed now.

Any thought that they were ok in doing this as they knew it would get them out of 8/9 game. SJU may oddly benefit from this decision.

How do they benefit from not having Obepka?

And it doesn't help the league either. I want as many BE wins as possible. Having said that, better one of theirs than one of ours!

You mean he wasn't suspended for short shorts?

Jesus, a two week suspension during the tournament for weed? He better have been trafficking a van load of it to get a suspension like this.

Players usually get drug tested leading into NCAA championships (in all sports). If he tested positive on the NCAAs test, he'd be out for a year. Two weeks may be the safe time to make sure he doesn't test positive on the NCAA's test.

If you remember, Mitch McGary went pro because he tested positive for marijuana and would've been suspended for a full season.

Good to know that none of the other 800 kids in the tournament smoke weed.

Maybe that's why teams peak at the end of the season.

Is Obekpa the prick who crosses his arms during the National Anthem?
