Utah Utes head coach Larry Krystkowiak kicked starting point guard and leading scorer Josh Watkins off the team for an undisclosed rules violation.
Watkins was suspended earlier this season for missing practice. He missed three days and one game then, now Krystkowiak went the next mile and dismissed Watkins. The point guard was averaging 16 points and five assists for the team which has a record of 4-13 overall. Utah is new to the Pac-12 and are suffering growing pains.
10th-ranked Murray State is still unbeaten after dispatching Morehead State, 66-60. The Racers improved to 19-0 overall. Isaiah Caanan led the way with 20 points and two assists. Fellow guard Donte Poole added 15 points. Murray State struggled from the field, shooting just 43% but earned the win by shutting down Morehead State.
Rakeem Buckles from Louisville is out for the season after tearing a ligament in his left knee. Buckles suffered the injury in a loss to Marquette on Tuesday. Buckles was averaging five points for the Cardinal who have lost five of seven games after starting the season 12-0.
