No suspension for Trevor Mbakwe

Minnesota's Trevor Mbakwe was arrested last night for violating a restraining order. If you remember, Mbakwe sat out all of last season as he dealt with legal issue surrounding an accusation that he assaulted a woman in Florida.

But according to this tweet from Myron Medcalf, the Minnesota beat writer for the Star Tribune, Minnesota sent out a release saying that "no change in Mbakwe's status." Tubby Smith also said that Mbakwe had a "lapse in judgment."

This report from Gopher Hole said that Mbakwe sent a facebook message to an ex-girlfriend that simply said "I hope all is well with you" when Mbakwe heard that she was going through a tough time in her life. If that is, in fact, the case, then a suspension probably isn't deserved as much as a dose of common sense.

We will post the entire release when it is made available.
