Former LSU point guard Bo Spencer has transferred to Nebraska, LSU Senior Associate Sports Information Director Kent Lowe confirmed Monday.Spencer was suspended from the men’s basketball team for failing to meet academic requirements following LSU’s 2010 season. He was dismissed from the team prior to the start of the fall semester.Lowe said the move was out of LSU’s hands, as Spencer was no longer enrolled at the University.”He was out of school at that point, so it’s his choice to continue his education,” he said. “It’s not a situation LSU has any control over.”Spencer will join the Cornhuskers’ roster as a walk-on and will be a senior when he becomes eligible for the 2011-12 season.The Baton Rouge native would have been the Tigers’ top returning scorer this season. He averaged 14.5 points and 36 minutes per game as a junior last season.Spencer also helped LSU to the 2009 Southeastern Conference title, averaging 11.4 points and shooting 40 percent from 3-point range on the Tigers’ run to the second round of the NCAA tournament.–Contact The Daily Reveille’s sports staff at [email protected]
