The Oklahoma State Men's Basketball team will not be in the big dance next March.

The NCAA announced Friday that OSU will receive a one-year postseason ban for former associate head coach Lamont Evans' actions during Brad Underwood’s tenure at OSU.

A federal judged sentenced Evans to three months in prison in June of 2019 for accepting bribes to link players with bribe-paying managers and financial advisors.

The ban is one of many penalties levied against the Cowboys by the NCAA. The team will also have three years of probation and have to pay a fine of $10,000 plus 1% of the men’s basketball budget.
