Kansas Jayhawks forward Silvio De Sousa has been suspended indefinitely by the team for his role in an ugly brawl at the end of Tuesday night's Kansas-Kansas State game, ESPN reports.

"I have suspended Silvio De Sousa indefinitely pending the final outcome of the review by KU and the Big 12 Conference," Jayhawks coach Bill Self said in a statement. "As I said last night, we are disappointed in his actions and there is no place in the game for that behavior."
