Fresno State suspends 2 players, eliminates another in the middle of the game research, according to the report

Fresno, California (AP) – Fresno State suspended two of his best male basketball scorers and eliminated a third player from the team in the middle of a game investigation, according to a report.

ESPN.com reported on Saturday that Jalen Weaver and Zoon Collins were “being retained from the team competition, since he reviews an eligibility issue.” The third player, Mykell Robinson, has not played since January 11 and is no longer in the team.

An official of the Athletics Department did not immediately respond to a request for comments from Associated Press.

Fresno State (5-23, 1-16 Mountain West) has already broken the loss record of a single season of the school and was trying to take a nine games running streak on Saturday when he faced the Air Force. The Bulldogs lost 72-69.

Fresno Bee initially reported on the internal research of the school. School officials contacted the NCAA, who is now carrying out an investigation.

Weaver was averaging 12.5 points per game and led the team with 4.7 assists. Collins averaged 12.0 points. Robinson was scoring 10.3 points and grabbing 6.2 rebounds.
