Mike Boynton and the Cowboys looked right at home in Brooklyn.
Oklahoma State torched Syracuse 86-72 on Wednesday night in the Barclays Center as part of the NIT Season Tip-Off. The Cowboys are 6-0 on the year and will play Ole Miss in the tournament’s championship game on Friday.
Isaac Likekele took over in the second half, scoring 14 of his 26 points. Likekele and fellow sophomore Yor Anei combined for 45 of OSU’s points.
Syracuse finally got out of its patented 2-3 zone late to press the Cowboys a little, and Thomas Dziagwa was able to benefit from that.
