Stephen Clark Signs With Oklahoma State

Dec 1, 2012 1:38 PM

Stephen Clark signed a national letter of intent to play college basketball at Oklahoma State.

“I've been waiting on this day for the longest,” Clark said Friday afternoon. “Me and my mom have been stressing through the whole process. We slowed everything down and narrowed it down to figure out where I'm going to school.

“This will make it a lot easier to focus on making myself a better basketball player and buckling down in the classroom to make sure I finish the year with all A's.”

Clark, a 5-foot-11 point guard who is considered a top-70 player in the class of 2013, chose the Cowboys over Baylor and UCLA.

Le'Bryan Nash Wants To Lead NCAA In Free Throw Attempts

Dec 1, 2012 1:36 PM

Le'Bryan Nash wants to lead the NCAA in free throw attempts after proving through five games he can get to the rim and draw fouls.

Nash is averaging 9.6 foul shots per game, which ranks fourth nationally.

“I'm trying to lead the NCAA in free-throw attempts,” Nash said. “I'm just taking what the defense gives me. And I'm playing with my teammates. My teammates give me the ball in good situations, and when you have a scoring mentality, then defenses can't stop you. All they can do is foul you.”

Nash is connecting on 85.4 percent of his free throw attempts, a 12.4 percent improvement over his freshman season.

“I'm glad to hear him say that, about leading the country in free throws, because it's something he and I have talked a lot about,” Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. “He should be shooting 10 or 11 free throws a game. And he can make eight or nine of those. That tells me, if he's getting to the foul line, not only is he getting points, it tells me his mind is right. Because he's playing to his strengths.”
