ORU wins Sutton battle

? Robert Jarvis scored 21 points to help Oral Roberts beat Oklahoma State, 74-59, Thursday night and give Scott Sutton a victory against older brother Sean in the first meeting between the two as head coaches.

The brothers, who had been on opposing staffs as assistants before, had been reluctant to face each other, and Sean Sutton called it a “favor” to get his younger brother’s program a rare television appearance.

It turned into the second victory against a Big 12 opponent in the past two years for the Golden Eagles (7-4), who also pulled off an upset at third-ranked Kansas last season.

Eddie Sutton, their father, won 798 games at Creighton, Arkansas, Kentucky and Oklahoma State. He watched from a courtside seat across from the Cowboys’ bench.
