We’ll provide you with a more in-depth analysis later, but we figured we would offer some of our early thoughts.
1) Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts totally dominated this game. UCLA didn’t have an answer for either one of them. It looked like Rose wasn’t attacking as much when UCLA put Russell Westbrook on him, but for some reason Ben Howland decided to keep Darren ...

College Round-Up: Bruins Never Find Their Stride — Insomniac's Lounge
Sorry for the delay. I've been waiting to see if anything was going to hatch from that egg UCLA laid Saturday. So far, nothing- but I think I might see Darren Collison poking his head out for one more year at UCLA after scouts saw his performance against NBA-ready point guard Derrick Rose. (Although on the other hand, is Collison going to get any taller or faster if he stays another year?) ...
Karma Police — Nationalsportsreview.com Blogs
The theme of National Semifinal Saturday wasn't the dominance of Chicago-bred point guards Derrick Rose (25 points, nine rebounds, four assists for Memphis) and Sherron Collins (11 points, four assists and load's of tough defense for Kansas). It wasn't UCLA going to their third consecutive Final Four and heading back to Los Angeles without a championship all three times. And it definitely ...
Championship Game: Five Key Questions — College Basketball by Collegehoops.net
Part of Jeff Borzello's epic National Championship Game Preview Five Key Questions 1. Can Kansas’ guards slow down the high-scoring Memphis backcourt? Heading into its game against UCLA on Saturday, the key match-up was obviously UCLA’s perimeter defense against the duo of Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts. Many thought Darren Collison and Russell Westbrook could ...

Slam Dunk Central NCAA: Rose Has Stomach Ailment But Will Play In Big Game — Slam Dunk Central
The Associated Press reported Sunday that Memphis guard Derrick Rose missed Media Day on Sunday due to a stomach ailment, but that will not keep from playing in the NCAA Championship Game Monday night. Rose led Memphis Saturday night past the UCLA Bruins 78-63. The freshman guard played like a cagey veteran as he scored 25 points, grabbed 9 boards, and dished off 9 assists. Due to his ...
Derrick Rose Forgets He’s On Live Television — MVN Outsider
Apparently, Derrick Rose is tired of being the center of attention. At the Memphis postgame press conference on Saturday after the Tigers’ win over UCLA, a reporter asked Joey Dorsey a question about Rose…well, Rose apparently forgot that he was on live television, and a “whoops!” moment occurred.
I can’t blame Rose for the slip up. Seriously, how ...
Derrick Rose & The Stomach Ache Heard ‘Round San Antonio — Can't Stop The Bleeding
The afternoon after Memphis’ destruction of UCLA in the first of Saturday’s Final Four pairings, we might well ask, what fuels a possible No. 1 overall pick like Derrick Rose? Luckily, the Lawrence Journal-World ’s Ryan Green knew exactly who to ask (link courtesy TBL, Hoopinion ) :
It wasn’t nerves keeping Derrick Rose from meeting the media Sunday afternoon. The ...
May Want To Keep The Expletives To A Minimum When There’s A Mic In Front Of Your Face — Sports Blog - football, basketball, and baseball
Listen closely, and you’ll hear freshman Derrick Rose dropping expletives when Joey Dorsey was asked about him being a freshman, and what it’s been like playing with him. I don’t know what Derrick thought Joey was going to say, but he seemed a bit nervous about a rather routine question with what one would think would be a routine answer.

Semifinal Review — Down with Goldy
Unfortunately, the location I was in yesterday during the games was not the most conducive to reviewing basketball, but I was still able to watch quite a bit and can give you some thoughts. I'm sure you're thrilled. - I was wrong. Nobody can stop Derrick Rose. I've pretty much underrated him most of the year. No more. Despite the Jayhawks' athletic guards and good defense, they won't have an ...
That's A Working Microphone, Derrick Rose [This Is Live TV] — Deadspin
"We don't look at Derrick as a freshman," said Memphis's Joey Dorsey of Derrick Rose, who scored 25 points in that win over UCLA. And for some reason, a reporter asking Dorsey what they think of Rose as a freshman playing well, prompted Rose — standing two seats over — to lay out a little hot-mic expletive.
Now one has to wonder what Rose was afraid his teammate was going ...
KU-Memphis, Monday Night — College Hoops Journal
Well, I got this one right . Don’t worry, I just jinxed myself from correctly picking Memphis to win it all.
A few quick hits:
-I’ll absolutely be putting up that sweet back door pass from Rose to CD-R, who then slammed it in Love’s grill (followed by an immature pointing-and-laughing display by Dorsey).
-Derrick Rose has gotten more impressive with each ...
Mighty Like A Rose! Memphis Shocks UCLA 78-63 Heads To Championship Game — Slam Dunk Central
Not only did Memphis freshman guard Derrick Rose earn he and his team a trip to the NCAA Championship game Monday, he probably increased his NBA value ten fold. Rose looked like a cagey Association veteran with the performance he put on the floor as he led the Memphis Tigers to an upset victory over the UCLA Bruins 78-63 Saturday. Memphis led at the half by a score of 38-35, but they ...

Halftime: Memphis 38, UCLA 35 — College Basketball by Collegehoops.net
With one half in the books, here are a few observations on the action.
1. UCLA does not have a defensive answer for Derrick Rose.
While it was CDR who got off to the hot start early on (4-4, 10 pts early; 13 total), he eventually cooled off thanks to the defense of Russell Westbrook. But Darren Collison hasn't had as much success in dealing with Rose (11 points), who has made his way to ...

Final Four Stuff — Sportsfrog.com
There is probably no way the day can live up to the expectations. Of the two games, I fully expect UCLA/Memphis to be the one most likely to be close at the end. For my part, give me Memphis v. North Carolina for the final Monday night. With regard to the Memphis pick, I just think Derrick Rose is that good.
As for the chattering classes:
Cory McCartney with a good Xs and Os ...
Semifinal Saturday — Down with Goldy
Woo-hoo, the Final Four is here, and it should be a good one. Of course, two years ago I was in Vegas to watch, and this year I'll be at a BW3. Advantage: 2 years ago. I'm still picking UCLA to take out Memphis and hold down Rose. Now, I don't mean hold down like 2 points, I mean more like going 4-14 with 12 points and a 1:1 TO/A ratio or worse. He's still going to get points, but he's also ...
