Remember when Pitt made a run for Luis Colon out of Miami? Instead his AAU coach steered him to his good buddy Bob Huggins. Guess, we know why. He fit the system there a little better.
Kansas State freshman basketball player Luis Colon received an automatic one-game suspension for throwing a punch Wednesday in a game against California in Berkeley, Calif.
The suspension is Big12-mandated. So Colon, who is 6-10, won’t play Saturday when the Wildcats play against Colorado State in Fort Collins, Colo. Colon was ejected with 6 minutes, 39 seconds left in K-State’s 78-48 loss. He threw the punch at Golden Bears’ 6-10 freshman Taylor Harrison.
“Luis actions last night are inexcusable and will not be tolerated,†K-State coach Bob Huggins said in a prepared statement. “This is a tough game, and you have to be mature and maintain your emotions. Luis understands that he made a mistake and there are consequences for his actions. This cannot happen again.â€
If it does happen again, the Big 12 has him done for the season.
Huggy-bear made Colon go the Cal lockerroom after the game and apologize directly. K-State lost the game 74-48

As a PITT fan I appreciate this more and more, and it makes it that much easier to follow the teams without embarrassment – even in disappointing seasons.
Watched a few PITT BB games already this year – first in a long while – thanks to the passionate posts on this Blog. Have to say they look pretty solid, and I’m hoping they can stay healthy for the NCAA run. At least no one in the national media can bitch about the BE BB strength/scheduling.
Being a Pitt grad and living in Cincinnati, I have followed UC basketball, I must say UC was smart in dumping Huggy, frankly, he is a scum-bag. K-State was hard up and hired him for a quick fix, we will see how long the administration of K-State can put up with the antics of future felons and thugs.
