Bell quits basketball team

Sam Bryner

For those wondering why Aggie big man Brayden Bell was not with the team for Saturday’s game, the answer came from Aggie men’s basketball coach Stew Morrill.

Morrill confirmed after the game that Bell left the team and informed the coaches over the break that he would not be returning.

“I won’t comment on all the particular circumstances of the decision,” Morrill said. “But it is probably safe to say that most of the time in these situations playing time is the factor.”

Morrill wouldn’t comment on whether Bell’s leave was completely his own decision or if possible academic violations played a part.
