NEW YORK — The BIG EAST Conference has announced that Providence's Duncan Powell has been suspended for two games in addition to the automatic one-game suspension mandated by NCAA rules for fighting during Providence's contest against St. John's on Feb. 14.
Powell was ejected from the game due to a flagrant 2 foul with 14:25 left in the second half. After the on-court video review, game officials determined that Powell engaged in additional combative actions that constituted a fighting act subsequent to the flagrant foul.
As a result of the three-game suspension, Powell will miss the Feb. 21 game at DePaul, as well as the Feb. 24 home game vs. Xavier and a Feb. 28 game at Creighton.
