SJU's Obekpa suspended

For 2 weeks by Lavin for violating team rules. Pretty much done for the NCAAs and the Johnnies' seed will probably be affected as well. Will he return for his senior season?

Why announce this today? They should have waited

Lavin said he announced today because honesty was important. Probably won't impact their seed. 3 hours to selection and the committee is already making contingency brackets based on what Wisconsin and UConn do. I doubt they want to shuffle all the matchup potentially from 6/11 to 8/9 based on St John's.

Remember, matchups are based on regular season opponents, conferences, and past tourney appearances. Even moving St John's one line at this point could be a monumental change.

@ESPNAndyKatz: NCAA official said this could affect the Red Storm. (Me: Not sure if this means selection or seeding).

Huge blow for St. John's.
