But but Ociffer!

People were wondering why UNLV guard Marcus Lawrence wasn't at practice yesterday...

Well, now it comes out. Looks like our boy got his ass thrown in jail and thrown off the team for sippin' and swervin'.

Lawrence, 20, was dismissed from the team Monday, three days after he was charged with driving under the influence.

Lawrence was arrested by the Nevada Highway Patrol after a one-vehicle accident Friday in Las Vegas. His arrest came about 7:30 a.m., three hours before UNLV's practice.

He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and suspended from the team. Lawrence missed Saturday's game at Brigham Young, which the Rebels lost, 74-48.

Rebels coach Lon Kruger called the situation "extremely disappointing," but said Lawrence had run out of second chances after a series of disciplinary issues.

"This is the third or fourth incident -- not anything to this severity, obviously, with the DUI -- but this is the third or fourth time we've had discussions, and Marcus wasn't surprised by the result," Kruger said.

Third or fourth time?! Now that's commitment!


Hey, Marcus should look on the bright side. He still lives in Vegas.
