The Western Athletic Conference has suspended New Mexico State's K.C. Ross-Miller for two games and Renaldo Dixon for one game following their involvement in a postgame brawl between the Aggies and Utah Valley on Thursday night.

The WAC announced the suspensions for violating the conference's sportsmanship policy Friday evening. New Mexico State had suspended Ross-Miller on Friday morning, hours after he touched off the brawl by hurling the ball at Utah Valley's Holton Hunsaker as time expired in the Wolverines' 66-61 overtime victory in Orem, Utah.

Ross-Miller picked up the ball at midcourt and fired it at Hunsaker -- who is Utah Valley coach Dick Hunsaker's son -- from close range, hitting him in the leg.

"There obviously is no place in the Western Athletic Conference or intercollegiate athletics as a whole for the unfortunate events that took place at the conclusion of Thursday night's game," commissioner Jeff Hurd said.
