Memphis beat UCLA 78-63 in a very convincing manor. The 38-1 Tigers continue to roll pass their opponents, while leaving the doubters saying the next team will beat them although they only have one more team left to conquer to win the national championship and that is Kansas.
One of the most dynamic moves of the night when Westbrook made a steal and was driving to the hole on Rose for an obvious 2 points and out of no where CDR pins the shot on the boards and the Tigers go back down to score.
Chris Douglas-Roberts was outstanding for Memphis, scoring 28 points on 9 of 17 shooting. Derrick Rose scored 25. Joey Dorsey was equally impressive with his 15 rebounds. During post game interview Rose said he could sense the UCLA getting winded so he knew he had to push the ball and not shoot jumpers. The key was to get to the line, and it worked.
Coach Calipari said "This is a dream team,"and every now and then when I think I have seen it all, one player will come down and do a moves that awes him.
Of course Memphis has done something no other team in history has ever done and that is won 38 games. If they win the National championship they will be considered one of the best teams in the history of the sport.
