LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky sophomores Gerald Fitch and Erik Daniels were suspended indefinitely Friday after they were charged with using fake driver's licenses to try to get into a nightclub.

According to the citation, the two were caught early Thursday trying to enter a bar near campus. They were cited by police for third-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and are scheduled to appear in court on March 25.

"We've had so many distractions this year, and this is one you just hate to see," coach Tubby Smith said. "Although this is something that may go on other places, it will not be tolerated here. I've talked to each player and his parents. They all understand the consequences and that there may be further punishment."

Fitch, a starting guard from Macon, Ga., did not play in the Wildcats' last game, a 64-61 victory over Tennessee on Tuesday. He was suspended for the game after a scuffle with teammate Cory Sears on a flight following a loss at Georgia last weekend.

Fitch has been the team's most consistent player this season, averaging 9.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game before his earlier suspension.

Daniels, a key reserve from Cincinnati, has averaged 3.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in about 13 minutes per game.

Kentucky (18-7, 8-5 Southeastern Conference) was expected to challenge for a national championship this season.
