The game was effectively decided in the first half, where McGill and Ndiaye combined for 27 points to help OSU build a 42-15 cushion at the break. Crooks opened the scoring with the first two baskets, and a sustained 14-0 run propelled Oklahoma State to a 19-6 lead after the first quarter. Morgan State (0-2) struggled mightily from the field, shooting just 19% (7-of-37) in the first half and managing only one three-pointer on 12 attempts. The Bears were also outscored 14-0 at the free-throw line during the opening 20 minutes, highlighting their inability to generate easy scoring opportunities.
