Oklahoma State dismisses F Thomas

Dec 9, 2008 - 1:24 AM STILLWATER, Oklahoma (Ticker) -- Oklahoma State dismissed forward Ibrahima Thomas from its men's basketball team on Monday.

The 6-11 sophomore was averaging 20.6 minutes, 8.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in seven starts for the Cowboys this season. He averaged 6.0 points and 4.1 rebounds last season.

"After several conversations with Ibrahima over the past week, we have decided that it is in the best interest of both he and this basketball program if we parted ways," Cowboys coach Travis Ford said. "We are looking for players who are fully committed to doing whatever it takes to make this program successful. The guys currently on this team are dedicated to doing just that."
