Oklahoma State Basketball Given Postseason Ban by NCAA for Recruiting Violations

The NCAA handed down a 2020-21 postseason ban to the Oklahoma State men's basketball team on Friday for recruiting violations.

The NCAA also announced that Oklahoma State has been placed on probation for three years, fined $10,000 plus 1 percent of the men's basketball budget and had its scholarship total for 2020-21 through 2022-23 reduced by three. It handed down a 10-year show-cause penalty to a "former associate head coach" as well.

While the NCAA didn't name the coach, it was referring to Lamont Evans, who was sentenced to three months in prison last year for accepting bribes from managers and financial advisers in exchange for connecting them with players.
