It's unfortunate to see players waste an opportunity. The Associated Press is reporting that Gonzaga basketball players Josh Heytvelt and Theo Davis were arrested after a routine traffic stop went bad.
Police said the players were pulled over because of its tail lights were not working. During the traffic stop, police found marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in the car.
Having watched plenty of Gonzaga games on TV this season, losing Heytvelt will be a huge blow for the Bulldogs. He is the team's second-leading scorer and force inside.
Now, who knows what the future holds. It's a shame to see a player blessed with that much talent make such a stupid decision. It will be interesting to see what details come out over the next few days.
