(AP) --  Missouri point guard Michael Dixon has been
suspended indefinitely for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Wednesday's action means the sophomore starter won't play
Thursday night when the 13th-ranked Tigers host Oral Roberts.

Dixon is averaging 10.7 points and a team-leading 4.3 assists.
He scored a season-high 17 points in Missouri's 111-102 loss to
Georgetown on Nov. 30 and is one of two players to have started
every game.

Freshman Phil Pressey has been backing up Dixon and it's
expected he'll get increased playing time.

Coach Mike Anderson gave no hint when Dixon might be allowed to
return. Anderson would not disclose the violation.
