Syracuse basketball collapses under Oklahoma State pressure at Barclays

Syracuse basketball made a few runs, but it wasn’t enough vs the Oklahoma State Cowboys at the Barclays Center. Here’s how the game played out.

First half

Syracuse basketball had done a really nice job of getting off to quick offensive starts, but that wasn’t the case in the Barclays Center.

Oklahoma State quickly got up 11-0 in the first two and a half minutes of the game. The Cowboys pressure man-on-man defense frustrated freshman guard Joe Girard and the rest of this Syracuse team forcing them into silly turnovers.

Syracuse finally got on the board with a Marek Dolezaj free throw with 16:57 on the clock.
