Frosh Rose nearly lifts Memphis to national title
Published 4/8/2008 at FOXSports.com News for COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Derrick Rose scored a three-point play on one of his wild, pump-filled dashes to the rim and made a crazy-good long bank shot off an inbounds pass.
If he'd only made a free throw with 10 seconds left, he probably would've turned the Memphis Tigers into national champs.
The sensational freshman was at his best during the NCAA tournament title game against Kansas on Monday night - but not long enough.
