Seton Hall's Lawrence reportedly drunk in crash

Seton Hall's Keon Lawrence was drunk and driving the wrong way on the Garden State Parkway when he caused a two-car accident in New Jersey early Monday, authorities told The Bergen Record . Lawrence reportedly hit a 56-year-old Newark man just before 3 a.m. The paper reported that Seton Hall has suspended Lawrence indefinitely, although a school official denied that report.

Now let's revisit my Big East preview , shall we?

"Bobby Gonzalez has his most talented team to date, and if all goes right the Pirates could make a run at the NCAA tournament. But is it really possible that all goes right? Gonzalez has brought in gifted but questionable-character guys in Keon Lawrence (transfer from Missouri) and Herb Pope (transfer from New Mexico State), and most believe things will blow up, sooner or later."

I guess this qualifies as sooner, doesn't it?

Gonzalez has yet to comment.

Well yes that makes him look like he is in denial. I thought you were referring to this article. Confused the hell out of me.

Lawrence was released on his own recognizance. Reached on his cellphone late Monday, he acknowledged that he had been in an accident early Monday, but denied that he had been charged with driving while intoxicated.

“They didn’t tell me that, and they didn’t tell my mother that, either,” he said. “I was in an accident. That’s about it.”

Lawrence also denied that he had been suspended from Seton Hall’s basketball program.

Does that not sound like Lawrence is in denial to you?

Reading that article, the kid is in full denial of what happened.

 Huh?

I feel bad for his teammates who will have to suffer on the court as a result of his decisions.
