STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — James Anderson scored 22 points and Marshall Moses added 17 as Oklahoma State beat Seattle 86-64 on Saturday in a game delayed 1 hour, 40 minutes because officials showed up late.
OSU blamed the mix-up on organizers of the Las Vegas Invitational tournament, claiming that officials were told the game's starting time was 7 p.m. The tip-off was scheduled 5½ hours earlier.
Even after the officials arrived, the delays weren't finished.
Seattle's team went missing, and on two separate occasions, more time had to be added to the pregame countdown clock.
Oklahoma State (1-0) scored the game's first seven points, extended its lead with a 13-2 run midway through the first half and led by double digits the rest of the way.
Charles Garcia scored 18 to lead the Redhawks (0-1) in coach Cameron Dollar's debut.
