The Oklahoma State Cowboys are set to visit Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York for a non-conference clash against the Syracuse Orange. The Oklahoma State Cowboys come into this matchup with a 5-0 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Western Michigan Broncos, 70-63. Leading the way for the Oklahoma State Cowboys was sophomore forward Yor Anei as he recorded 13 points and 12 rebounds. Senior guard Lindy Waters III had a productive all-around outing for the Cowboys as he pitched in 9 points and 9 rebounds.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys struggled shooting the ball against the Western Michigan Broncos as they connected on 24 of their 64 field goal attempts (37.5%), and they were slightly worse from behind the three-point line (28%). The Oklahoma State Cowboys won the turnover battle against the Western Michigan Broncos (11-9), and they edged out the Broncos in the rebounding department (45-36).

The Syracuse Orange come into this matchup with a 4-1 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Bucknell Bison, 97-46. Leading the way for the Syracuse Orange was sophomore guard Buddy Boeheim as he recorded 22 points and 4 assists. Junior forward Elijah Hughes had an all-around productive outing for the Orange as he pitched in 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.

The Syracuse Orange had a good shooting game against the Bucknell Bison as they connected on 37 of their 66 field goal attempts (56.1%), and they were good from behind the three-point line (48.3%). The Syracuse Orange won the turnover battle against the Bucknell Bison (23-15), and they edged out the Bison in the rebounding department (44-32).

The Syracuse Orange are coming off their best performance of the young season as they put up 97 points on a decent Bucknell team, and I expect them to continue rolling here against Oklahoma State. The Orange are one of the best defensive teams in the country as they are holding their opponents to an average of 53.6 PPG, and Oklahoma State has struggled to consistently score the basketball as they rank 211th in points scored. The Syracuse Orange will need to find a consistent scorer outside of Elijah Hughes, but Buddy Boeheim and Joseph Girard III have started to find their stroke. Final Score Prediction, Syracuse Orange win and cover ATS 68-62.
