The Latest: Syracuse surges late to get within 1 of Zags

The Latest on the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, with games Friday night in Philadelphia and Chicago (all times Eastern):

10:31 p.m.

Halftime of the second Midwest Regional semifinal comes at a nice time for Gonzaga, which had a ton of trouble with Syracuse’s 2-3 zone in the final couple minutes of the first half.

The Orange scored the last six points to close to 29-28 at the break.

Kyle Wiltjer has 15 points for the Bulldogs, but the long-range shots stopped dropping and the zone put the squeeze on Domantas Sabonis, who has 12 rebounds but only four points.
