NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Previous Day Nuggets...
Next Day Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
ECU alumni take court prior to Marshall game
East Carolina's fifth annual basketball
alumni game will be free to the general public at Williams Arena inside
Minges Coliseum at 3 p.m. today, part of an entire day of activities planned
for former ECU men's basketball letterwinners.
Pirate fans will be able to interact
with former players and get autographs prior to and immediately following
the contest. Former stars such as ECU Hall-of-Famers Theodore "Blue"
Edwards, Cecil Heath and Jerry Woodside, along with other alums, have
confirmed their plans to be on hand.
The game will serve as a prelude to
ECU's Conference USA matchup with Marshall, which tips off at 7 p.m. The
letterwinners will be recognized during halftime of the Marshall-ECU game.
Report: Top three apparent for NFL draft
USA Today Sports Weekly — and many
others — are projecting with a high degree of certainty who will be the top
three choices in the NFL draft April 29-30.
Those three players — Southern
California's Reggie Bush (running back) and Matt Leinart (quarterback) and
Texas' Vince Young (quarterback) — appear virtual locks to go in the first
three picks, which are currently held by the Houston Texans, New Orleans
Saints and Tennessee Titans.
DUI charge
lodged against Sutton
Oklahoma State University basketball
coach Eddie Sutton was charged Friday with DUI and two other misdemeanors in
connection with his
Feb. 10 vehicle accident.
According to affidavits filed by the
Payne County prosecutor's office, Sutton was charged with aggravated
operation of a motor vehicle — involving person injury — while under the
influence of an alcoholic beverage, according to a Tulsa World report.
The charge is a misdemeanor, carrying a
maximum jail time of up to one year, along with a $2,500 fine.
The affidavit noted Sutton's
blood-alcohol level after the crash was .22, nearly three times the
threshold .15 for a DUI charge.
Sutton was also charged with the
misdemeanors of driving left of center and speeding.
The left-of-center charge carries a
maximum jail time of 10 days and a $10 to $100 fine.
Sutton, 69, received a gash on his head
in the North Washington Street accident. Authorities said his SUV slammed
into the back of a car driven by Teresa Jean Barnard, 42, of Perry, who was
also injured.
Sutton has expressed appreciation for
the support he has received following last Friday night’s auto accident on
the university's athletic website,
okstate.com.
In a statement to the media via
telephone, Sutton, who is on a medical leave of absence, acknowledged that
he has an alcohol problem and plans to enter a treatment center next week.
During the telephone statement, Sutton
apologized for his mistake and the harm he has caused his family, his team,
the university and its fans. OSU System CEO and President David Schmidly
said the entire OSU family is behind Coach Sutton and will support him and
his family in the days and weeks ahead.
