KU women’s basketball guard Marisha Brown suspended indefinitely

Kansas guard Marisha Brown fights for a loose ball with Kansas State's Alina Voronenko on Saturday, January 29, 2011 in Manhattan.

Kansas University women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson announced Monday afternoon that senior guard Marisha Brown has been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules.

“Marisha will remain a member of our team and continue to practice until she is reinstated for competition, however, we are very disappointed in her,” Henrickson said in a release.

Brown has started seven of 18 games for KU this season and is averaging 4.0 points and 2.4 rebounds. The Kansas City, Mo., native missed eight games earlier this season due to a broken foot.

Tyshawn Taylor from the KU men’s squad was suspended on Monday for violating team rules as well.

The KU women will travel to Oklahoma State on Wednesday.
