Sun Devils Leader Scorer not with program

Manhattan, Kansas – the state of Arizona The devils of the sun There are no strangers to play shorthanded. They had to do this for most of their games this season.

This time, BJ Freeman Senior was not part of the image, while Arizona State has taken a series of six games that lose a 66-54 victory on Sunday, over the Kansas State Wildcats.

Test coach Bobby Hurley said Freeman is no longer with the program.

“It was unfortunate to get to it,” Hurley said. “He is our main scorer, a very productive player for us. It is only, we had too many cases of player or coach with BJ and has already been suspended once, so it was a really difficult decision.

“But based on this year – and has another season to play – I’m sure he will still have a very good market for a place to land next year.”

Sun Devils (13-14, 4-12) remained four games in the regular season, then the Big 12 Conference tournament.

Freeman finishes this season, on average, with 13.7 points in team to go with 3.9 recovery. He reached double figures in score 20 times and exceeded 20 points four times, with a high level of 26 years, coming with a loss in the center of Florida. He was the most important team scorer seven times, most recently coming with 21 in home loss at TCU.

Freeman, a senior of 6 meters 6, was at the center of team problems. He was suspended by Hurley for the match against the state of Oklahoma for what was called “conduct to the detriment of the team”.

He was evacuated from two games this season for a blatant Fauct 2, the most unrecognizable that came to the game of the game against Arizona, when he led Caleb Love in an arizon in a game at Desert Financial Arena.

Hurley worked with a rotation of eight players, but Freeman’s departure makes him seven.

Freeman started 22 games, coming from the bench for the first time on Tuesday, in a loss at Houston.

Sunday’s victory for ASU marked a bit of redemption for the first -level Jayden Quainte.

The 17 -year -old had a heavy output when the teams played in Tempe earlier this month. In that game he scored only three points and was 1-for-7 on the field and 1-for-6 from the line, missing two free four seconds left in an ASU game lost 71-70.

Quainte aggravated the ankle injury and returned to Houston on Tuesday, but played limited minutes, because Hurley felt that his player was not right.

Quainntance looked more like his normal self in this regard, marking 18 points for his first two -digit game from the marking 15 against Western Virginia on January 21. Quainte was 8-for-11 on the field with seven recovery, two thefts, two assistants and a block.

His day ended prematurely as he descended under 4:47 to the left and ASU up with 12 points. This time it seemed to be a knee injury.

Shawn Phillips has registered his first double-double career, marking 10 points and taking 11 recovery.

Kansas State was also without a key player, because the Senior Coleman Hawkins wing (11.9 ppg) missed the match with ASU due to a knee injury.
