A 12-minute drought without a field goal. Six made baskets in the second half. Fifteen missed free throws. Those ugly offensive numbers somehow added up to an NCAA tournament win for Syracuse thanks to a suffocating zone defense that took California and its hometown fans out of the game. C.J. Fair scored 18 points, James Southerland added 14 and the fourth-seeded Orange overcame a horrid offensive performance to beat the 12th-seeded Golden Bears 66-60 on Saturday night and advance to the round of 16 for the second consecutive year.
