We now know why Jamil Tucker was taking time away from the team and we know that the time benefited him none.
Jamil Tucker was dismissed from Virginia's men's basketball team on Tuesday for academic reasons.
"We expect our student-athletes to perform to certain standards academically and Jamil has not met those standards," Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett said. "We wish him well and will provide assistance where we can, but he is no longer a member of our team."
