Reger Dowell leaving OSU team, Travis Ford confirms

Oklahoma State basketball coach Travis Ford made it official Tuesday, confirming in a press release that junior point guard Reger Dowell is no longer a member of the team.

The next thing to be confirmed is senior Keiton Page moving over from shooting guard to become the Cowboys? starting point guard.

Notes for OSU?s next game -- 5:30 p.m. Wednesday against SMU at American Airlines Center in Dallas -- were included in the same email as the press release confirming Dowell?s departure.

Page and Markel Brown are listed as the starting guards in the game notes.

Page has experience at point guard and has started at that position in the past. A source indicated that a decision was made to move Page to point guard before Dowell made the decision to leave.

OSU began this season with three point guards -- Dowell, sophomore Fred Gulley and freshman Cezar Guerrero. Gulley left the team (playing time was cited as a factor) following a Dec. 17 game against New Mexico and Dowell started the only game since.

On Monday night, a source close to the program told the Tulsa World that Dowell was leaving. In the press release, Ford said, ?We appreciate what Reger has done for us over the past two seasons. We wish him nothing but the best and wish him well in his future endeavors.?

Dowell had played in 11 games this season and was averaging 5.5 points and 1.7 assists. He scored a season-high 11 points in an overtime win against UTSA.

Dowell, who has not redshirted, played in 53 games. He had a career average of 3.9 points and recorded 50 assists in 53 games.
