He was a two-time All-American and three-time All-Pac-10 selection, and was chosen as Oregon State's MVP in 1983. In Sitton's four years at Oregon State, the Beavers were 93-25 and appeared in the NCAA tournament three times and the NIT once. Sitton scored 1,561 points in his college career, and shot at a .575 field goal percentage.[1]
