Sean was a two time letterwinner at the University of Kentucky before sitting out the 1989-90 season. In 1990, he enrolled at Oklahoma State University and was an instant starter for the Cowboys. As a point guard, he led Oklahoma State to back-to-back NCAA Sweet 16 appearances in 1991 and 1992. Sutton became the only player in OSU history to have advanced to three Sweet 16 appearances in his playing career with two trips as a Cowboy and one as a Wildcat.
During Sutton's two-year playing career at Oklahoma State, the Cowboys posted a 52-16 record and won a regular-season conference title. The Cowboys were ranked as high as No. 2 in the national polls during his senior season and won the Preseason NIT.
Sutton earned honorable mention All-Big Eight accolades as both a junior and a senior and made the All-District V team in 1992. Despite playing just two seasons at OSU, Sutton etched his name in the Cowboy record book several times. He is ranked 12th on the career assists list with 291 and first in career three-point percentage at 44.5 percent.
On the season listings, Sutton's 167 assists in 1992 rank seventh, while his 124 assists in 1991 are listed 19th. He averaged 10.2 points as a junior in 1990-91 and 11.7 points, second on the team behind only Byron Houston, as a senior.
