1 Memphis 1 UCLA

Road to the Final Four: The top-seeded Tigers beat No. 16 Texas-Arlington 87-63; No. 8 Mississippi State 77-74; No. 5 Michigan State 92-74; and No. 2 Texas 85-67.

Stars: Junior guard Chris Douglas-Roberts (17.7 points, 4.2 rebounds) was a first-team All-American and freshman guard Derrick Rose (14.6 points, 4.7 assists) was a third-team pick.

Key point: Reserve guard Andre Allen (3.3 points, 2.1 assists) has been suspended for violating team rules. Entering the tournament, free-throw shooting was the biggest question, but the Tigers are 93 for 138 (67.4 percent) in the four NCAA games.

Road to the Final Four: The top-seeded Bruins beat No. 16 Mississippi Valley State 70-29; No. 9 Texas A&M 53-49; No. 12 Western Kentucky 88-78; and No. 3 Xavier 76-57.

Stars: Center Kevin Love (17.6 points, 10.7 rebounds) is just one of six freshmen to be selected first-team All-America since 1983, and his tough inside play has become the face of UCLA basketball. Junior guard Darren Collison (14.8 points, 3.8 assists) was a third-team All-American.

Key point: The Bruins have five players making their third Final Four appearance, the only ones with any experience among the four teams. It’s still about defense for UCLA, the only team still playing that allows less than 60 points per game.
