STILLWATER — Oklahoma State was 5.5 seconds away from snapping a five-game losing streak when big man Parsa Fallah dunked the ball on a fast-break to put the exclamation point on the overtime victory. He reached for his knee on the way down and hit the court hard. Fallah slapped the ground numerous times as the rest of Gallagher-Iba Arena went silent for what felt like an eternity before individual fans began yelling encouragement for the big man that has served as the driving force of Cowboy basketball this season. After a lengthy stretch, Fallah was later wheeled out of Gallagher-Iba Arena while his teammates waited on the final seconds to tick off in the 91-84 overtime win over West Virginia. Fallah finished the game with a team-high 18 points and eight rebounds. He ranks second on the team in scoring averaging 14.7 points per game and a team-best six rebounds. Before the injury soured the mood, Jaylen Curry seemed poised to finish as one the night’s heroes. He wasn’t the Cowboy many fans would have expected, or wanted, shooting a pivotal 3-pointer for most of the season, but with less than two minutes remaining Curry was the one high-fiving…
Didn’t look good at all. My guess is he is done for the year. I know he was only here for a year, but I loved watching him play…not a super talented guy, but he seemed like a real leader on the team and his passion for the game and team was obvious. Hoping for a quick recovery, but either way, thanks Parsa for what you brought to the program.
