Big East announces additional penalties for Providence’s Duncan Powell
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.
