Pittsburgh, PA – Pittsburgh has suspended forward Gilbert Brown from the men’s basketball team for the fall semester because of academic reasons.
The school made the announcement Friday.

The 6-foot-6, 200-pound Brown could be eligible to rejoin the team Dec. 20.
During the 2007-08 season, Brown played in 37 games, starting 15, and averaged 6.5 points and 3.1 rebounds.
