Eddie Sutton, who took Oklahoma State men’s basketball program to two Final Four appearances in 1995 and 2004, died Saturday night in Tulsa. He was 84. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette first reported the news before the Sutton family confirmed it.
Sutton’s death comes less than two months after he was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on April 3.
Sutton won 806 games with three Final Four appearances and NCAA tournament appearances with Creighton, Arkansas, Kentucky and OSU. He also had 84 wins at the junior college level at College of Southern Idaho, and 118 during his 1959-66 run at Tulsa Central High School.
