BROOKLYN — Syracuse traveled to the Barclays Center on Wednesday night for its first of two games in New York City. It allowed the first 11 points of the game, and despite leading by seven at one point in the first half, the Orange (4-2, 0-1 Atlantic C0ast) struggled defensively in an 86-72 loss to Oklahoma State (6-0). OSU outshot the Orange and dominated the interior as SU’s frontcourt struggled with foul trouble.
