Welcome to Blackout Wednesday!

Blackout Wednesday, sometimes referred to as Drinksgiving, takes place the night before Thanksgiving Day, and in some parts of the United States is one of the biggest drinking and party nights of the year. Many college students come back to their hometown for Thanksgiving, and go to bars the night before to meet their friends whom they haven't seen while away at school. Many bars mark the occasion by having promotions and drink specials as well. Thanksgiving is usually a low stress holiday for college aged kids, where gifts don't need to be purchased, and older family members do the preparing of meals. This leaves college aged kids with more expendable cash, and the luxury of eating a big meal the day after drinking without having to prepare it.

Blackout Wednesday has been trending on Google searches since 2004, particularly during the month of November, and there seems to have been an uptick in searches for it starting around 2010. Furthermore, it seems to be most popular around the Great Lakes region. A sad consequence of the day is that a lot of drinking and driving takes place. In some locations it is the top drinking and driving night of the year, and accidents and fatalities are high. Fittingly, many police departments step up their patrols on Blackout Wednesday.

Syracuse basketball vs. Oklahoma State: What to know (PS; Waters)


Syracuse will venture outside the Carrier Dome for the first time this season as it takes on Oklahoma State in the NIT Season Tip-Off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

The Syracuse-Oklahoma State matchup is the back end of a doubleheader, with Ole Miss facing Penn State in the first game. The winners and losers will meet each other at the Barclays on Friday at 7 and 9 p.m., respectively.

Syracuse has a young squad with no scholarship seniors on the roster and only one starter back from last season. Oklahoma State, on the other hand, returns all five starters from a year ago and will start three seniors.
The Orange (4-1) comes into game riding a four-game win streak. Oklahoma State is 5-0 but looking to notch its first win over a team from a Power 5 conference.

Syracuse basketball must solve Oklahoma State defense at Barclays (itlh; Adler)

The Syracuse basketball squad is set to embark on a challenging five-contest stretch that could define its 2019-20 campaign, with Oklahoma State up first.

The Syracuse basketball team put forth its finest showing of the 2019-20 stanza when it absolutely crushed Bucknell this past Saturday afternoon inside the Carrier Dome.

The Orange (4-1) shot lights out from the field as a whole, and particularly from long range, while also displaying a suffocating 2-3 zone in blasting the Bison by 51 points.

Now the ‘Cuse, filled with confidence, prepares to enter a five-affair portion of its 2019-20 calendar that could go a long way toward determining whether Syracuse earns an invite to next spring’s March Madness. The Orange will go toe to toe with Oklahoma State (5-0), out of the Big 12 Conference, on Wednesday evening in the 2019 NIT Season Tip-Off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

What to Know
The Syracuse Orange will take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Barclays Center. Both of these red-hot teams will try to put the other on ice to keep their winning streaks alive.
If there were any doubts about the heavy odds in favor of 'Cuse coming into their game against the Bucknell Bison on Saturday, the team laid those doubts to rest. 'Cuse took their contest with ease, bagging a 97-46 victory over Bucknell. The Orange's success was spearheaded by the efforts of G Buddy Boeheim, who shot 6-for-8 from beyond the arc and finished with 22 points, and F Elijah Hughes, who shot 5-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 21 points, five dimes and six rebounds.
Meanwhile, in a sloppy game that saw the teams combine for 18 turnovers, Oklahoma State took down the Western Michigan Broncos 70-63. Oklahoma State's F Yor Anei filled up the stat sheet. He posted a double-double on 13 points and 12 boards in addition to five blocks.
Their wins bumped the Orange to 4-1 and the Cowboys to 5-0. Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
