Oregon's Jordan Bell suspended for game vs. Washington State
Oregon announced on Sunday it had suspended freshman forward Jordan Bell for that night's game against Washington State after he was cited for harassment earlier in the week.
According to a statement from the Ducks, Bell was cited after he interfered with a university parking officer who was attempting to place a parking citation on his vehicle.

"I want to apologize for my actions," Bell said in the statement. "I did not react properly to the parking citation and I am disappointed in my conduct. I have already apologized personally to the Parking Officer and want to also make a public apology. Representing the University of Oregon is a privilege and I will do better to live up to those standards."
Oregon won Sunday night's game 92-75 over Washington State.
