NEW YORK -- We're five minutes into the second half between No. 21 Syracuse and Ohio State, and the Buckeyes are holding on to a 50-44 lead at the moment.

Kosta Koufos is continuing to dominate the paint for OSU, while Syracuse has been settling for perimeter jumpers for most of the night while it's frontcourt seems to have disappeared.

And after shooting just 43.3 percent in the first half, getting easy baskets down low and in transition is going to tell the tale for the Orangemen in this second half if they hope to make a comeback and advance to the finals against No. 16 Texas A&M.
