Highlight of the Week

In light of the ridiculously exciting Final Four matchups coming up on Saturday, I have decided to make this weeks Highlight of the Week all about the teams involved.

Memphis and UCLA will meet at 6pm Saturday night and Kansas and North Carolina will play immediately after.

In those games you will see some of the biggest superstars in all of college basketball.

Nobody in the country is as big as North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough or Memphis’ Derrick Rose. Their greatness is enough for me to put together a two-clip post.

Hansbrough, also known as “Crazy T” for his intimidating gaze and relentless aggression on the court is a front-runner for player of the year. He has taken North Carolina under his wing and made himself the poster boy for the team. They play with his demeanor.

This clip shows exactly why they call him what they call him, who in their right mind would even attempt to do this?



Derrick Rose is my favorite player in College Basketball right now. As a die-hard Miami Heat fan, I have decided that this is the man I want wearing their uniform next season. He’s so big and strong for a point guard that it makes it almost impossible for someone to match-up with him. Regardless of where he is on the court, it is imperative that the other team make sure they account for him. He is the reason that I believe the Memphis Tigers will ultimately be the winners of the tournament.

That clip exemplifies the toughness that Rose brings to the table. He dunks it with unbelievable athleticism, steals it right after and does it again, single-handedly making the arena he is playing in explode. Look for him to be doing that for years to come on a much greater stage.



Hopefully these two youngsters get to put all their hard-work on the line for a chance to win the national championship on Monday night.
