MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- After North Carolina threatened to blow Oklahoma off the floor with a 15-4 run to start the game, the Sooners are making a move to get back into it.

All-America forward Blake Griffin is leading the way, grabbing seven of his team's eight rebounds. In fact, the sophomore is outrebounding UNC, 7-5.

Twice the Tar Heels picked up personal fouls while battling Griffin for a rebound. UNC All-American Tyler Hansbrough picked up his second personal foul while going over Griffin's back, sending him to the bench with 13:08 to play in the half.

UNC reserve Bobby Frasor picked up three personal fouls in less than five minutes on the floor. He's also sitting on the bench.
