DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Drake basketball player Rayvonte Rice knows he made a mistake and is ready to accept his punishment.
Rice and teammate Kurt Alexander were arrested for shoplifting at an area sporting goods store on Aug. 31 and immediately were suspended from the team. They have since been reinstated, but coach Mark Phelps said Monday he was still weighing further disciplinary action for them, which likely will involve missing some early games.
If Rice does miss some games, the sooner he gets back, the better for the Bulldogs because they need him if they are to become relevant again in the Missouri Valley Conference.
As a freshman last season, the 6-foot-4, 235-pound Rice led the team in scoring (13.8 ppg), rebounding (4.8), steals and blocks.
