Bill Knight reported in Tuesday's El Paso Times that Houston guard Aubrey Coleman will be suspended during Wednesday's game against UTEP. The story said Coleman will miss his rematch with the Miners because of a flagrant foul on Saturday in a game against Arizona.
But the story doesn't explain that the "flagrant foul" was much more unsportsmanlike than it sounds. Check out the video:
But Karma came back to bite Houston. I'll let Eric Sorrentino explain it, because his post on the incident is where I originally learned about it:
Houston led this game by 10 points with 52 seconds left and couldn't close it out. Arizona's Nic Wise hit a three-pointer with 10 seconds left to force overtime. Arizona went on to win, 96-90. Wise, coincidentally, is a Houston native.
That's what I like to call Karma.
Coleman deserved to be ejected. And Houston fittingly lost the game.

Hopefully, that bad Karma will continue and help UTEP get a much-needed road victory on Wednesday.
Maybe this is the break that UTEP needs to turn this season around and finish the reg season in a respectable matter.
