In commemoration of the late Eddie Sutton, ESPN this week announced it will air four of the most memorable games from his coaching career — three of which took place at Oklahoma State.

The games will be aired on ESPNU starting at 9 a.m. Friday and will run all the way into the evening, starting with Texas Tech-OSU from 1998 and culminating with OSU’s semifinal showing in the Big 12 tourney in 2005. Via ESPN:

10 a.m.: 1998 Classic’s College Basketball – Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State

Noon: 2006 Classic’s College Basketball – Oklahoma State vs. Kansas

2 p.m.: 1986 Classic’s College Basketball – Kentucky vs. LSU

4 p.m.: 2005 Big 12 Basketball Tournament, Semifinal – Oklahoma State

Spoiler alert here: OSU won them all. Nonetheless, this is a pretty tremendous way to honor his legacy for those who can tune in.

Sutton passed away this past Saturday at 84 years old. He won 806 games as a college head coach and twice took OSU to a Final Four. He will be posthumously inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame next spring.
