BYU Basketball: Brandon Davies Dismissed from BYU for Having Kid on the Way
The Bleacher report ^ | 2 March 2011 | Mick Akers

Posted on 03/02/2011 1:02:29 PM PST by T Minus Four

Ethan Miller/Getty Images It was reported yesterday that BYU starting center Brandon Davies was let go from the team for the remainder of the season for violating Brigham Young's honor code.

Today, 1280 The Zone in Salt Lake City is reporting that Davies' girlfriend is pregnant with his child. The honor code does not allow sexual relationships unless you are married, among a hefty list of other rules.

Davies is averaging 11.1 points per game and a team-high 6.2 rebounds, and not having him available for the NCAA tournament will be a major issue for Mr. Fredette and the Cougars.

If and when they meet up with a big-six conference powerhouse, they will need everything they have down low to bang against the other teams' centers.

BYU's backup centers have not played many meaningful minutes this season and expecting them to do so this late into the season is asking a little too much.

Their sophomore forward, Stephen Rogers, is averaging 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in an average of 10 minutes per game. The Cougars' freshman 6'10'' forward/center James Anderson is averaging one point and one-and-a-half rebounds per game in seven minutes of action.

A plan to go with a smaller lineup and to speed their game up more than usual is what BYU is planning on doing with the Davies absence, according to unnamed sources.

Getting away with not having your starting center might fly against the lower seeds, but this all but guarantees they are not going to be able to make a run as deep as many experts have been predicting.

This will also affect their potential seeding in the big dance. As of now they are a projected No. 1 seed, but without one of their key players, the Cougars may fall as low as a No. 3 seed, making the road to the Final Four that much more difficult

Oprah Christianity strikes again.

I agree but I think Oprah believes she's a god. I've never known a narcissist who didn't think like that.

Its so aggravating to see people write that Jesus would tolerate a false religion, let alone tolerate a man who hijacked his name to form a cult.

In what universe are you seeing anyone say that lds can not practice whatever religion they want. The First Amendment has zero to do with the fact that mormonISM is blasphemy.

Oh right yes that was a 911.

Yup!!

The attacks culminated on September 11, 1857 in the mass slaughter of the emigrant party by the Iron County district of the Utah Territorial Militia and some local Indians.

“It is a dumb game - get over it.”

Great minds think alike. Some people take that stuff way too seriously.

Well I guess it means that moslems are free can smooze with their good cloned buddies, the mormons...

The two groups that are SOOOOOOOOOO much alike...

Heres one of the similarities..

In neither religiuon are women free, respected, protected...

A moslem girl gets raped...

The moslem rapist gets away with the crime...

the victim is murdered by moslems...physically...tossed out of the moslem religion..

A mormon girl gets raped...

The mormon rapist gets away with the crime...

the victim is murdered by mormons...emotionally, psychologically, reputation-wise, job, school, family-ties, ex-communicated from the mormon religion...

Yeah the same...good buddies...

WHAT ???

Whos being a bigot ???

Just two religions practicing the First Amendment and Freedom of Religion...

Briggie Youngs theocractic dictatorship, Sharia Law...

Again....the same...

Drgonblustar said Mormonism is a false relgion. Who decides wha religion is false and what is true. And in your universe, would not the world be a better place if the false relgions were banned from practice?

I was referring to the 911 analogy duh.

Of course in the history of “true” Christians, they don’t have any blood on their hands, do they.

God decides what religion is false. No one is suggestion that false religions be banned, you are the only one bringing that issue.

Big difference. Christians do not try and cover up their past.
