TULSA — There wasn’t public fanfare Friday for Eddie Sutton at the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the BOK Center.
Sitting mostly out of view, the legendary Oklahoma State coach watched as Texas Tech beat Northern Kentucky 72-57 to advance.
It was a moment his son Sean Sutton, Red Raiders coach Chris Beard’s advisor, savored every moment of.
“He’s been doing better,” Sean Sutton said of his father. “Always enjoys this time of year so I was really happy he could come to the game today and see us play.”
Eddie Sutton, 83 and confined to a wheelchair, watched the game from a mid-level spot.
