New York -- Syracuse's loss in Thursday's 2K Classic in Madison Square Garden sent the Orange to Friday's consolation game.
There, SU will play Oregon at 4:30 p.m. The No. 13 Ducks, like the No. 15 Orange, were upset in their semifinal game. Syracuse lost to unranked Connecticut. Oregon lost to unranked Iowa.
Friday's game matches two 7-footers in Paschal Chukwu, who struggled to defend the interior on Thursday, and Bol Bol, the son of former NBA big man Manute Bol.
Oregon, like Syracuse, struggled to make shots and was outrebounded in its game, too.
