BYU's potential Final Four chances were dealt a significant blow when starting forward Brandon Davies was dismissed Tuesday from the team for the remainder of the season for a violation of the school's honor code.

The sophomore was a vital member of BYU's frontcourt and was instrumental in helping contain San Diego State's forwards during the Cougars' 80-67 victory at a sold-out Viejas Arena on Saturday. Davies, who started 26 of 29 games for the Cougars, averaged 11.1 points and a team-leading 6.2 rebounds.

BYU released a statement Tuesday night that the university became aware of the violation of the honor code Monday. The school said in the release that since the violation just occurred, decisions on Davies' future with the team and in school are still undetermined.

School officials said coach Dave Rose would address the issue following Wednesday's game against New Mexico.

Davies was one of Jimmer Fredette's favorite targets in the post, ran the floor well and gave the Cougars length and size inside.
