Provo • Three days after recording the biggest regular-season win in program history, a win over San Diego State that propelled the BYU basketball team to a No. 3 national ranking and into serious consideration for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, the Cougars’ postseason hopes were dealt a devastating blow.
Starting center Brandon Davies was dismissed from the team on Tuesday because he ran afoul of the school’s strict honor code.
BYU announced in a terse news release that Davies, a 6-foot-9 sophomore from Provo High, “will not represent the university on the men’s basketball team throughout the remainder of the 2010-11 season” because of a “violation of the BYU Honor Code.”
Among other things, the code forbids premarital sex, the use of alcohol and illegal drugs, and cheating on schoolwork.
