WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University Department of Athletics has suspended two players for violating team rules following an incident that occurred more than an hour prior to the tipoff of the Hoyas' game against Louisville on January 16.

Both players were given a one-game suspension following review of the tape by Georgetown administrators and the coaching staff. They will serve the suspensions at the home game against DePaul on Saturday at McDonough Arena.

In addition, Georgetown University regrets the incident occurred and has taken steps to prevent these types of events by limiting Georgetown student-athlete warm-ups to their designated end of the court. Georgetown is taking this action to promote sportsmanship prior to the game.
