Davies controversy Sophomore starting forward Brandon Davies was dismissed from the team on March 1, 2011 for the remainder of the season for a violation of the school's honor code. The Salt Lake Tribune published that the transgression involved the provision that prohibits premarital sex.Drew Jay BYU's Brandon Davies apologizes to teammates March 2, 2011 The Salt Lake Tribune https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/cougars/51348870-88/davies-byu-team-wednesday.html.csp March 3, 2011 BYU center Brandon Davies was suspended from the Cougars’ nationally ranked team for the remainder of the season because he violated the school’s honor code provision that prohibits premarital sex, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned. This led to a media frenzy in which the Honor Code was spotlighted and debated, particularly because Davies had not committed a criminal act, or even an NCAA violation, but instead a violation of Latter-day Saint and school ethics. Davies had started 26 of 29 games for the Cougars, averaging 11.1 points and a team-leading 6.2 rebounds. At the time, BYU had a 27-2 record and ranked No. 3 nationally, while analyst Joe Lunardi of ESPN.com had projected the Cougars as the No. 1 seed in the West region for the 2011 NCAA tournament.Katz Andy Andy Katz Brandon Davies dismissed from team March 2, 2011 ESPN.com https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=6172760 https://web.archive.org/web/20110303181121/http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6172760 March 3, 2011 live After Davies' suspension, Lunardi maintained his stance that BYU should be a No. 1 seed as long as they continued to perform.https://insider.espn.com/blog/ncbexperts/ College Basketball Experts Blog The Cougars lost their next game 82–64 to New Mexico (19–11), who beat BYU for the second time in the season,New Mexico upsets BYU in first game since Davies' dismissal March 2, 2011 Associated Press ESPN.com http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=310610252 https://web.archive.org/web/20110304192442/http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=310610252 dead March 4, 2011 March 3, 2011 but quickly recovered in a 102-78 victory over Wyoming. http://espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=310640252 https://web.archive.org/web/20110307154154/http://espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=310640252 dead March 7, 2011 Wyoming vs. BYU - Game Recap - March 5, 2011 - ESPN References Category:BYU Cougars men's basketball seasons BYU BYU BYU Cougars men's basketball BYU Cougars men's basketball
