Two Oklahoma Players Cited for Shoplifting
Hours after the game, the two were cited for shoplifting at Dillard's at Sooner Mall in Norman, Okla., according to a story that appeared in the Oklahoman. They were ticketed for petty larceny around 8:50 that evening and released.
This was hours after both Pledger and Fitzgerald played roles in the Sooners 80-71 upset of then No.9 Longhorns. Pledger, a 6-foot-4 guard, scored nine points in 24 minutes. Fitzgerald, a 6-7 forward, started the game and finished with three points in 19 minutes.
Both players have since been suspended by head coach Jeff Capel.
There was no word Tuesday on what punishment head coach Jeff Capel would hand out. OU basketball media contact Mike Houck did not immediately return a call from FanHouse.
