Stewart averaged 0.6 points and 0.3 rebounds in the 3.3 minutes per game he saw.

Per Big East rules, Stewart will not be allowed to transfer to a fellow Big East school, and per NCAA rules, he'll have to sit a year before playing again.

This news frees up a roster spot and scholarship for the Bluejays next season.
