Wow. This one came out yesterday just before the Charlotte game - Mo Rice was dismissed from the team for violating an unspecified team rule. Rice was also suspended twice before this season.
Obviously this is bad, but Maureece hasn't been very consistent this season, so who knows what it might mean for the team. It's got to be disheartening though. With Mo out, the team went 1-2, beating Longwood and losing to Charlotte and UMBC. Then again, the team might have gone 1-2 with him.
This also can't help Mo's pro prospects, which were probably D-League or CBA anyway.
Who knows what the reason is - grades, attitude, something else. Here's GW's statement:
