MEN’S BASKETBALL
Oklahoma senior guard Steven Pledger, an Atlantic Shores grad, continues to climb the Sooners’ all-time 3-pointers list.
Pledger made his 242nd 3-pointer March 2 against Iowa State to claim second place on the Sooners’ all-time list.
Pledger had 14 points on 4-for-9 shooting, all 3-point attempts, in the 86-69 win.
Pledger finished the regular season with 247 3-pointers – 13 shy of besting the all-time mark set by Terry Evans.
Pledger has seen significant playing time since enrolling at Oklahoma. He led the team in scoring (16.2 ppg) his junior year, but that pace has dropped to 12 ppg this season.
ESPN and CBS Sports predict Oklahoma (20-10, 11-7 Big 12) will receive an at-large bid as a No. 10 seed in the NCAA tournament, which would be Pledger’s first action in March Madness.
VCU’s Briante Weber (Great Bridge), a sophomore guard, was named Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year.
Weber finished the regular season among the nation’s leaders in steals at 2.8 per game.
