MEN'S BASKETBALL: Niagara's Armstrong gets one-game suspension

Staff Reports

Chris Armstrong has been suspended for the Niagara University men’s basketball team’s Nov. 13 season opener at Auburn because of the behavior that led to his arrest early Sunday morning in Niagara Falls, athletics director Ed McLaughlin said Monday.

Armstrong, 20, a junior walk-on, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after what police called a “ruckus” at the Whiskey River Party Bar on Main Street.

McLaughlin said the university imposed additional sanctions on Armstrong, but that federal laws prohibited him from saying what they were.
