Southern Illinois suspended junior guards Mykel Cleveland and Troy Long and sophomore center Gene Teague for three games on Friday for violating team and university conduct codes.

"I am extremely disappointed in the actions of our three student-athletes," Southern Illinois athletic director Mario Moccia said in a statement.

"The incident will be reviewed by the university judicial process, and we will not discuss specifics until that process is complete."

Cleveland and Teague are starters.

Mississippi State's Ravern Johnson has been suspended for Saturday's game against LSU because of "inappropriate tweets" sent following the team's 75-61 loss to Alabama on Wednesday.

The suspension was announced Friday in a statement released by the university.

Bulldogs coach Rick Stansbury banned the team from using Twitter on Thursday.

Johnson was critical of his role in the offense and of fans in Twitter messages after scoring just 10 points in the loss to the Crimson Tide.
