MEMPHIS -- Oklahoma found a one-two punch to answer Syracuse's 2-3 zone. Sooners All-American forward Blake Griffin scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds, and junior guard Tony Crocker rediscovered his shooting touch in the first half, as No. 2 seed Oklahoma took a 39-26 lead over the Orange at the half of Friday night's South Regional semifinal at FedEx Forum. Crocker, who had been mired in a monthlong shooting slump, scored 14 points in the first half. He shot 3-for-5 on 3-pointers, including one from the left wing that gave the Sooners a 13-point lead with only four seconds left in the half. Griffin hasn't been bothered too much by Syracuse's relentless double- and triple-teams in the paint. He shot 6-for-8 from the floor in the first half. In the final minute, Griffin drove to the basket and collided with Orange point guard Jonny Flynn, who is about 70 pounds lighter than the husky forward. Griffin made a layup, and Flynn was called for the foul. Flynn lay on the court for a few seconds, and later limped to the Syracuse bench during a timeout. The Orange went 0-for-10 on 3-pointers and made only 11 of 31 shots from the floor. Flynn missed his first three shots, but led the Orange with nine points on 4-for-7 shooting. Guard Eric Devendorf, who had been red-hot in his team's first two NCAA tournament games, shot 1-for-7, including 0-for-4 on 3-pointers. Sharpshooter Andy Rautins was 0-for-6 from the floor and 0-for-5 from beyond the 3-point arc.
