Heading into Sunday’s game against Utah, Oregon State forward Jarmal Reid had averaged 4.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 15.7 minutes of playing time per game this year.
But for at least the next four games, he’ll be throwing up the same stat line as me: zeros.
That’s because Reid felt it was necessary to intentionally stick out his leg and trip a referee with roughly three minutes left in the game after he thought he was fouled while securing a loose ball and didn’t receive the call.
The score was tied when Reid was ejected for his jackassery, but Utah took advantage of the situation and outscored the Beavers 7-1 down the stretch to secure the victory.
Oregon State and the Pac-12 suspended Reid for “at least four games” following the incident, and whether or not that suspension grows will depend on Reid being able to make it through the next two weeks without reverting to his asshole ways.
