Cheyenne, Wyo. ? Two more players were suspended – one indefinitely – and two had their suspensions extended Thursday by the Mountain West Conference for fighting during New Mexico’s home win over Wyoming on Tuesday. The penalties were agreed upon by the schools and the conference.
Wyoming’s Brandon Ewing and Brad Jones – the team’s top scorers – and New Mexico’s Jamaal Smith were ejected from the game and automatically suspended from their team’s next game.
New Mexico players Daniel Faris, J.R. Giddens and Aaron Johnson received reprimands. Giddens is a transfer from Kansas University.
The conference suspended Jones and Smith for an additional game, and added a one-game suspension for New Mexico’s Darren Prentice. Wyoming suspended Joseph Taylor indefinitely.
