Indiana freshman Eric Gordon's latest challenge is a difficult one. He's going to attempt to play hurt, according to ESPN.com.

Gordon's father told the Indianapolis Star that his son injured his non-shooting hand while coming down for a rebound during the Hoosier's practice on Tuesday.

"He did injure his wrist, but there's no swelling," Eric Gordon Sr. said, according to the Star. "He's going to be able to play. What they'll probably do is put some protective padding on it, and he'll play."

Kansas State's Michael Beasley, who wasn't even alive when the Kansas Jayhawks began their 24-game winning streak in the Little Apple, scored 25 points Wednesday night and led the No. 22 Wildcats to an 84-75 victory over previously unbeaten No. 2 Jayhawks, touching off a mob scene on center court, according to an Associated Press report.

The Associated Press has reported that Missouri coach Mike Anderson has suspended five players indefinitely following a weekend altercation at a nightclub in downtown Athena.

The incident left the team's leading scorer, Stefhon Hannah, with a broken jaw that could force him to miss the entire season.

"I am very disappointed in the actions of these young men," Anderson told the AP. "We have defined team rules and when those rules aren't followed, our guys must be held accountable for their actions."

Missouri basketball Coach Mike Anderson has suspended five players indefinitely after a weekend brawl which left leading scorer Stefhon Hannah with a broken jaw.

According to the Associated Press,  suspended from Wednesday's home game against Nebraska are senior guard Jason Horton and forwards Marshall Brown, Darryl Butterfield, and Leo Lyons.

Hannah, who returned home to Chicago after surgery, also is suspended.

"I am very disappointed in the actions of these young men," Anderson said. "We have defined team rules and when those rules aren't followed, our guys must be held accountable for their actions."

According to a report by ESPN, alcohol played a role in the suspension of Connecticut starting guard Jerome Dyson and backup guard Doug Wiggins.

The two sophomores had a bottle of cognac and a bottle of vodka when campus police officers approached their vehicle Thursday night, police said in a statement.

Missouri guard Stefhon Hannah remained hospitalized Monday with a broken jaw after a weekend brawl outside a nightclub, according to the Associated Press.

The Tigers' leading scorer will miss four to six weeks and could be out for the remainder of the season.

According to the L.A. Times, the acceptance of blame by USC O.J. Mayo may have saved the freshman guard as much as a six game suspension.

According to a statement released by the NCAA, "normal reinstatement guidelines call for a withholding condition of 20% of competition based on the dollar value of this benefit.

"However, when determining the specifics of this individual case, the NCAA staff determined that repayment without withholding from competition was warranted since the university provided information that the student-athlete first asked his coach if he could accept the tickets offered to him and was told it would be permissible."

The Kansas Jayhawks bolted past the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday afternoon, 84-49, to remain undefeated.

Brandon Rush scored 17 points in the win as No. 2 Kansas rolled to a big lead early and cruised to victory.

Connecticut Coach Jim Calhoun suspended guards Jerome Dyson and Doug Wiggins indefinitely for violating team rules on Friday, according to ESPN.

Wiggins and Dyson practiced Friday in Storrs, ESPN.com's Andy Katz was told.

"It obviously isn't something that is making me particularly happy," Calhoun told The Hartford Courant on Friday. "This particular suspension is mine, no one else's. I took the action based upon what I felt was in the best interest of our basketball team and the university."

The Associated Press is reporting that USC freshman O.J. Mayo violated an NCAA rule by accepting free tickets from Carmelo Anthony to an NBA game, but his punishment won't include missing games.

University officials said Friday they have been informed by the NCAA that Mayo committed a violation and must contribute $460 to a charitable organization. USC said in a release the NCAA restored Mayo's eligibility after he and his family donated the money, making him available for Saturday's game against Oregon.
