COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Maryland senior guard Chris McCray has been suspended for the rest of the season because of academic reasons, leaving the No. 18 Terrapins without their top scorer and defensive catalyst.
McCray was averaging 15.2 points, reaching double figures in 15 of 16 games this season. He also averaged 3.5 rebounds, ranked second on the team with 57 assists and was tied for the lead with 35 steals.
With the 6-foot-5 shooting guard leading the way, the Terrapins have compiled a 13-4 record, including 3-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The school announced the suspension Monday. McCray will be unavailable at the start of the spring semester, which begins Wednesday.
The first game he will miss is at Georgia Tech on Wednesday night.
"I'd first like to apologize to my family, teammates and coaches for not meeting NCAA standards, but I'll continue to pursue my criminal justice degree," McCray said in a statement. "I'll learn from this experience and look forward to becoming very productive in life and as a student here at Maryland."

Sounds like a nice guy. Bit of a shame for their program.
