CINCINNATI -- University of Cincinnati head coach Mick Cronin announced Saturday that freshman forward Quadri Moore has been suspended from the basketball team.
"We have standards both athletically and academically in our program that Quadri is not meeting," Cronin said in a statement released prior to UC's home game against Tulane. "It is my hope that Quadri will take this time to make the adjustments he needs to make in order to be a Bearcat again."
Moore has played in 21 of UC's 24 games this season. He's averaged playing 9.4 minutes a game with 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds.
The loss of Moore from the bench hurts the Bearcats' inside depth but he only in a minimal fashion. He was the third reserve off the bench behind Shaq Thomas and Coreontae DeBerry.
UC is 17-7 overall and 8-4 in the American Athletic Conference. The Bearcats are in fourth place heading into Saturday's game. Tulane is 13-10, 4-7 in the AAC.
