NEW YORK - Memphis is out to an 11-5 run to start the second half and leads 51-46. Derrick Rose has started to assume some control for the Tigers and CDR is up to 20 points for Memphis.

The officials appear to be letting things go a bit more to start the half, a development that would seem to favor Memphis.

. . . Dozier picked up his fourth foul of the game with barely 20 seconds gone in the half and was sent to the bench immediately.

. . . UConn is just a completely different team after its slow start, abandoning their tentativeness and attacking the rim (especially Stanley Robinson).

. . . Ronnie is very fired up as the head coach of the Manhattan College Jaspers, Barry Rohrssen is in the house. Rohrssen is a long-time friend of Calipari, going back to their Five-Star camp days.
