Derrick Stands Tall In Tulsa

Another last-second block by Pac-10 Player of the Year Derrick Williams allows Arizona to escape with a second-round 77-75 win over the Memphis Tigers in Tulsa today as the Wildcats move on to face Texas Sunday in the third-round of the 2011 NCAA Basketball Tournament.

The Wildcats and the Longhorns will be two of the 32 surviving teams as "The Road to the Final Four" continues. Both the Wildcats and the Tigers left it all on the court today. All the players should be en route to the spa for a little down time in Tulsa tonight...add to that, the referees involved in today's contest. The men in stripes should be ready for a little relaxation, too. Their arms must be tired as well after calling 45 fouls in 40 minutes. Bottom line: Arizona beats Memphis as Mr. Williams leads the way with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and one remarkable game-saving block. Arizona guard MoMo Jones chips in 18 points, despite being under plenty of pressure from the relentless Tigers' defense, and the Wildcats come away with their 28th win of the season.

And now, the Wildcats prepare for the 4th-seeded Longhorns, another 28-game winner. Texas advanced today with a win over the Oakland Grizzlies, a 13 seed out of Oakland, Michigan. As it turns out, the Longhorns and the Wildcats had their hands full today. Come on Wildcats, let's get to the Sweet 16!
