Could The Bruce Pearl Honeymoon Be Coming To An End

This from the KnoxNews website (free registration required) this afternoon.

Anthony Passley and Jordan Smith were arrested Saturday night in Knoxville on marijuana possession charges. Passley, a redshirt sophomore, transferred to UT from Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Pearl's coaching stint last year. Smith, is a walk-on from West High School in Knoxville.

According to KnoxNews they have been suspended indefinitely from the team. Knox News also reports that UT is expected to issue a press release later this evening.

I don't think the Pearl honeymoon will end until the team starts losing. First NCAA Tournament since Jerry "Uncle Jed" Green days, baby!

I bet journalist make as much as Pearl, right?
