ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia women's basketball star Tasha Humphrey will be suspended for the first six games after being charged with underage possession of alcohol.
Humphrey, who averaged 20.1 points and 9.1 rebounds last season, will miss key games against national powers Stanford and Rutgers. She'll be eligible to return for a Dec. 3 game at Georgia Tech.
Coach Andy Landers said Tuesday that university policy required him to suspend Humphrey for three games -- 10 percent of the team's schedule. He decided to double the penalty to underscore the severity of her actions at a time when there is school crackdown on alcohol abuse.
