Mizzou forward Jordan Barnett arrested on suspicion of DWI

The arrest could put Barnett's availability in the postseason in peril, but coach Cuonzo Martin is not scheduled to meet with the media until a planned event around the NCAA Tournament selection show.

Per Rivals.com's Gabe DeArmond, a spokesman for the University of Missouri Police Department announced Barnett was arrested at 3:26 a.m. local time for failure to drive in a single lane and suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Mizzou is aware of the incident according to a team spokesperson.

The timing of this could not be worse for Missouri. Mizzou added Michael Porter Jr.to the mix after the former 5-star returned from a back injury he suffered in the first game of the season.

Potentially losing Barnett would be devastating to Mizzou's NCAA Tournament chances.
