The Marquette men’s basketball team fell to the Oklahoma State Cowboys by a score of 70-62 Tuesday night, making it their first loss of the season.
The Golden Eagles kept things close through the first 20 minutes of play, heading into halftime with a 35-32 lead. The second half was a different story, Marquette experienced a stretch in which they scored only 16 points in 16 minutes due to a strong zone defense from Oklahoma State.
“It really pushed us out on the floor and you know the spots that we wanna try to attack the zone — we weren’t able to get to those spots,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said.
