Oxford, MS (Sports Network) – Marshall Henderson, shooting guard on the University of Mississippi men’s basketball team, was suspended indefinitely by the school on Wednesday for a violation of team rules.<\/p>\n
The school did not provide any details regarding Henderson’s infractions, although CBSSports.com reports the suspension was for a failed drug test.<\/p>\n

With that comes greater responsibility, and he must do a better job of living up to the high standard we expect from him and he desires from himself,” said Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy.<\/p>\n
Henderson led the Southeastern Conference in scoring during his first season in Oxford in 2012-13, and was named conference tournament MVP in leading the Rebels to an NCAA Tournament berth.<\/p>\n
However, as much as he is known for his scoring — he averaged 20.1 points per game in leading Ole Miss to a 27-9 record — he is just as well recognized for his polarizing personality.<\/p>\n
Over the course of the season, Henderson baited opposing players and team student sections with his antics and was frequently in the headlines for his post-game comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
