KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The situation Kansas forward Carlton Bragg recently experienced following his arrest and subsequent suspension for one game was no doubt humiliating and humbling.The 6-foot-10 sophomore was arrested on one count of misdemeanor battery. He missed the No. 3 Jayhawks last game, sitting on the bench as they downed Nebraska. Then on Tuesday, Bragg was cleared by authorities of any charges stemming from his Dec. 9 arrest.He will be available Saturday when Kansas (9-1) carries a nine-game winning streak into a matchup against Davidson (5-3) at Sprint Center.The manner in which this particular situation transpired, I think, was educational, Kansas coach Bill Self said. I also think it was one in which you could look at Carlton and understand he took some hits in order to do the right thing by letting the process play out.Self took the same approach, waiting on authorities to judge facts and evidence before commenting extensively on the situation. Braggs role in practice was reduced, but now that he is back, expect him to return to the Kansas rotation.Although Bragg started the Jayhawks first five games, the performance of the highly touted Cleveland recruit has been uneven. He ranks sixth among the Kansas scorers with a 7.8-point average and second in rebounds (5.3).I think that hell be much better moving forward, Self said. He certainly had some (personal issues), and Im not even talking about recent events. But I think those are things that players go through.I think that hell be much better moving forward. ... A lot of times kids go through them beginning their sophomore year because usually their sophomore year their role is much different. Its easy from the cheap seats to say when I get out there Ill be better, and then you get a chance to play and it hasnt quite played out that way. Its kind of humbling.Braggs struggles contributed to the advancement of four-guard lineups Self has used. Especially after 6-5 sophomore wing Lagerald Vick replaced Bragg in the starting lineup.Two small guards, senior Frank Mason and junior Devonte Graham, have been instrumental throughout the season alongside freshman wing Josh Jackson. Collectively the trio averages 49 points. Mason, the teams leading scorer (20.5 points per game) and Graham (13.7) are the only Jayhawks averaging 30-plus minutes.Davidson provides an intriguing matchup.In 2008, Kansas nipped Davidson and Stephen Curry 59-57 in the finals of the NCAA Midwest Regional before capturing the national title. The only other meeting in the all-time series was in 2011, when Davidson upset Kansas in a regular-season game in Kansas City, but the Jayhawks went on to reach the 2012 national championship game.The Wildcats feature two 20-point scorers. Senior guard Jack Gibbs leads the Atlantic-10 and also ranks fourth nationally with a 24.3-point average. He also leads Davidson with 29 assists. Junior forward Peyton Aldridge scores 20 per game and grabs a team-high 6.6 rebounds.Davidson comes off a 10-day break since falling against No. 7 North Carolina 83-74 on Dec. 7.I think the fight that our guys had, the attack mode that they play in, the versatility of our players, kept it close, Bob McKillop, the 28th-year Davidson coach, said after the North Carolina defeat. I thought Jack was particularly an orchestra leader. That was very pleasing to me.The Kansas matchup will be the seventh Davidson has played away from home in its first nine games. The Wildcats then begin a three-game homestand to close out December. Archie Bradley Jersey . Once again Jordan Cieciwa (@FitCityJordan) and I (@LynchOnSports) go head to head in our picks.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- A second Kenyan track and field official was expelled from the Olympics on Thursday after he pretended to be one of the teams 800-meter runners at a doping test and gave a sample in the athletes name.The incident may have been the unintended result of the runner, Ferguson Rotich, giving the official his accreditation card so he could have a free breakfast in the athletes village.Still, the International Olympic Committee opened an investigation after John Anzrah was found with Rotichs Olympic accreditation and provided the doping sample and signed doping forms in the name of Rotich, Kenyan team leader Stephen Arap Soi said.Anzrah, a former sprinter and now a track coach, was reported to authorities by doping control officers after the test, Arap Soi said.The problem with John Anzrah is he took possession of an identity card (accreditation) of an athlete who was in the list of WADA for out-of-competition dope testing, Arap Soi said. He was ... taken to the doping control station purportedly as Ferguson Rotich and subjected to produce the sample and he signed. The crime he has committed [is] against Team Kenya, and that is why we are sending him back home.The International Olympic Committee set up a disciplinary commission to look into the incident.We take note of the decision of the Kenyan Olympic Committee to send home its athletics coach following a violation of anti-doping rules, and we thank the NOC for its swift action, the IOC said.The IAAF will seek information on the incident from the IOC and could launch its own investigation, governing body spokesman Yannis Nikolaou said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.This is the second doping scandal to hit Kenyas track team at the Olympics and comes with Kenyan athletics in the midst of a doping crisis and under severe scrutiny in Rio. The Kenyan team has been heavily tested for doping in the buildup to the Olympics because of years of problems in the country, a powerhouuse in distance running.ddddddddddddBut this may have been a foolish mix-up.Rotich claimed he gave Anzrah his accreditation so that the coach could eat breakfast for free at the athletes village on Wednesday morning, said Rotichs agent, Marc Corstjens. Kenyan officials also said that Anzrah was found in the dining area of the athletes village before the test, apparently corroborating that.Corstjens said he didnt know what happened next, and he wasnt sure why Anzrah didnt own up to the doping officers when he was asked to give a doping sample.Why didnt he tell them, Hey guys, this isnt me? Corstjens said.After Anzrah was discovered, Rotich went to the doping test and gave both blood and urine samples, the agent said.While Anzrah was sent home by the Kenyan team, the IOC didnt say if there would be any repercussions for Rotich.Rotich finished fourth in the 800 at the world championships in Beijing last year. He is listed to compete in the heats of the mens 800 on Friday alongside teammate David Rudisha, the Olympic champion and world-record holder.Anzrah is a former Kenyan 200- and 400-meter runner, and he competed at the world championships in 1987. As the news broke, Kenyan deputy president William Ruto had just arrived in Rio to attend the Olympics. Kenyas sports minister is also in Brazil with the team.In the first doping scandal involving Kenya in Rio, its track and field team manager was sent home last weekend over allegations he sought a 10,000 pound ($13,000) bribe from undercover reporters to help athletes evade doping tests back in Kenya. Michael Rotich, who is no relation to Ferguson, was filmed seeking the bribes in Kenya in January and February, The Sunday Times newspaper reported.He was arrested when he arrived back in Kenya from the Olympics. ?Anzrah is being held in custody and is facing criminal charges.
