AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas coach Rick Barnes says forward Alexis Wangmene’s suspension will end after Saturday’s game against Colorado.

Wangmene was arrested on a drunken driving charge early Sunday morning and did not play in No. 5 Texas’ win over Iowa State on Wednesday night. Barnes said Thursday that Wangmene was embarrassed and apologized to his teammates.

Texas plays Kansas State on Monday night.

Wangmene has played in 27 games and is averaging 2.4 points and 2.4 rebounds for the Longhorns (24-4), who are in first place in the Big 12.
