Derrick Rose of the Memphis Tigers, a freshman from Chicago got his team into the Final Four. The Tigers defeated the Texas Longhorns 85-67 yesterday. Rose will be coming up against Kevin Love of the UCLA Bruins, also a freshman phenom on Saturday April 5 in San Antonio.

The last time the Memphis Tigers were in the Final Four was 1985. They have been one win away from the final weekend of the NCAA tournament for the last two years, but didn't make it. Texas Longhorns coach, Rick Barnes described Rose as being slippery and evasive. " He just slips around and comes at you so hard, and then he comes around the rim and can just elevate and get over you." The Longhorns simply didn't have a guard big enough to block his view, much less his shot.
