NEW YORK (AP) -Derrick Rose made three free throws in overtime and No. 2 Memphis beat No. 24 Southern California 62-58 on Tuesday night in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.
The Tigers (7-0) managed to win despite playing a game more toward the pace Southern California wanted. Neither side wanted the poor shooting or turnovers that plagued both teams throughout.
Robert Dozier had 13 points for Memphis, Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 10 and Rose added nine points and 10 rebounds.
O.J. Mayo had 16 points and fellow freshman Davon Jefferson added 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Trojans (6-3), who lost to No. 3 Kansas 59-55 over the weekend.
The game was billed as a matchup of star freshmen, Rose for Memphis and Mayo for Southern Cal, but both struggled. Rose was 3-for-9 from the field and had five turnovers.
Mayo was 6-for-20 from the field – including missing seven straight shots over the last 14 minutes of regulation and the first 4:45 of overtime.
Rose gave Memphis the lead for good with two free throws 39 seconds into overtime and Douglas-Roberts made it 58-54 with a putback.
