MEMPHIS -- ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach provides instant analysis from Oklahoma's 84-71 win over Syracuse in Friday's South Regional Sweet 16:
GAME ANALYSIS: The Sooners were worried about cracking Syracuse's vaunted 2-3 zone. But the Orange couldn't handle Oklahoma's one-two punch of All-American forward Blake Griffin and suddenly hot-shooting guard Tony Crocker, who combined to score 58 points. The Sooners grabbed momentum from the start and were patient against the Orange's 2-3 zone. After Syracuse cut Oklahoma's lead to 18-17 in the first half, the Sooners went on a 10-2 run to make it 28-19. Oklahoma then scored the last six points of the first half and the first nine of the second to go ahead 48-26 with 17:46 to play.
