BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - University of Memphis senior forward Arthur Barclay has been suspended for one game due to his unsportsmanlike behavior in the Tigers' 61-59 setback to TCU Jan. 15 at FedExForum, head coach John Calipari announced this morning. Barclay will sit out today's UAB game.

"What Arthur did was unacceptable and he knows that," said Calipari. "As a result of what happened, I have decided to suspend Arthur for today's game. He realizes that he got caught up in a heat of the moment incident during the TCU game, and there is no excuse for his actions."

Barclay, a Camden, N.J., native, has played in 13 games, starting 10. The Tigers have a 7-3 record when he starts. He is averaging 0.7 points and 2.7 rebounds. Barclay grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds in the Tigers' 73-67 victory at USF Jan. 19.
