Rayshawn Goins will miss the first half of JMU’s first-round NCAA Tournament game against LIU-Brooklyn Tuesday night after a weekend arrest following a team party.
“In accordance with JMU athletic policy, Coach Matt Brady is suspending Rayshawn Goins for the first half of the NCAA Tournament game on Wednesday night in Dayton,” the school’s athletics department said in a statement Monday.
“After having thoroughly reviewed the details in this case, the athletic administration supports Coach Brady’s decision. Matters involving student athletes are reviewed independently on a case by case basis. Appropriate action is taken based on the details of each case. At this time, there are no additional details to provide until this specific case processes through the legal system.”
Goins, a 6’6” redshirt senior who averages 12.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game for JMU, was arrested on charges of obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct.
He faces an April 9 court hearing on the charges in Rockingham-Harrisonburg General District Court.
