One of the youngest teams in NCAA Division I basketball this season got even younger on Wednesday.
In his pre-game radio show Thursday night, UL coach

Robert Lee announced that sophomore guard Stephen Dees was no longer on the team. Lee also said senior guard David Dees would not dress out Thursday and

that his status would be addressed today.
“Stephen Dees will not return to our basketball team,” Lee said after a 57-51 loss to Middle Tennessee State at the Cajundome. “David Dees, I will address his situation tomorrow afternoon.”

Lee did not make any further comments.

Both Stephen and David Dees were unavailable for comment.

David Dees, a second-team preseason All-Sun Belt Conference pick, entered this week second on the team this season in points per game (9.4) and tied for second in rebounds per game (3.9). He was averaging 20.5 minutes in 20 games – including 11 starts. He had started his last four games.

Dees started in Sunday’s 87-66 win over Troy and finished with two points on 0-of-6 shooting in 16 minutes. He did not play for most of the second half.

Last season, Dees was a third-team all-conference pick after leading the Cajuns in five categories – including points per game (17.4) and minutes per game (35.6).

Dees spent two seasons at Liberty (Va.) University before transferring to UL and sitting out the 2005-06 season per NCAA rules.

This season, Stephen Dees was averaging 0.6 rebounds and 3.1 minutes in eight games – including one start. He had not scored in a game this season.

He played one minute in the win over Troy.
