A 6-10 forward, Auguste is connecting on 65 percent of his shots for the No. 12 Irish (16-2, 4-1) and is second on the team in rebounds (6.4) and points (14.3).
Irish coach Mike Brey said Wednesday in a text message to ESPN that Auguste was not suspended but needed to remain in South Bend to address the matter.
The Irish take their NCAA-best field goal percentage of 53 percent into Saturday’s matchup with a tough Hurricanes squad that held No. 4 Duke to just 43.9 percent shooting in a 90-74 upset win Tuesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
