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 ...

That baseline dunk by Chris Douglas-Roberts in the mug of Kevin Love signaled the beginning of the end for UCLA in the second half last night. Consider that it was followed a by a monstrous block by Joey Dorsey on the other end leading to a fast ...

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.

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).

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

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

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.Derrick Rose Does His Clay Davis Impersonation

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.

"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

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

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.

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 ...Memphis Leads UCLA 38-35 at Halftime

Memphis got off to an impressive start against UCLA in this evening's first Final Four game, pushing the pace and taking a 38-35 lead into the locker room at halftime.

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.

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 ...
