On Wednesday night in Gallagher-Iba Arena against a 4-3 Georgetown team, Oklahoma State failed to do what it hasn’t done since the 2006-2007 college basketball season: Win its first eight games to start the year.
OSU dropped its eighth contest 81-74 and fell to 7-1 on the young season. Georgetown — playing without two of their top five scorers — got 33 points from guard Mac McClung and another 19 from big Omer Yurtseven. The Hoyas outlasted a nice comeback run from the Pokes in the second half that had GIA whipped into a mini-frenzy when OSU took the lead 53-48 with 12 minutes to go.
