NEW YORK - This one has all the makings of fantastic finish as Memphis clings to a 58-56 lead with 10:57 left in the game. Jerome Dyson has 10 points in the second half for UConn and 13 for the game. CDR leads all scorers with 22 points.

The UConn crowd is getting quite into it with loud chants of "Let's Go Huskies" ringing through the arena.

. . . Great one-handed dunk through the lane by Jerome Dyson to cut the Memphis lead to one with 14:00 left as Dorsey backed off to avoid picking up his third foul.

. . . At breaks in the action, Ronnie leaves the "listeners" with a courteous, "We'll be right back." The consummate professional. He returns from breaks in the action with a "We're back here now."

Ronnie says: "This is like a championship fight. The best game of the whole year." Who's more on the side of truth than Ronnie?
