Player of the week: Chris Douglas-Roberts, Memphis

He put on a show at Madison Square Garden in the finals of the 2K Sports final against Connecticut. Douglas-Roberts scored a career-high 33 points in the championship game, hitting 14-of-24 shots from the field. He also added seven rebounds in the title game.

Team of the week: Memphis
John Calipari's team was challenged by two physical teams at Madison Square Garden. The Tigers came through against Oklahoma and Connecticut to show why they are a legitimate Final Four contender.

Coach of the week: Dave Leitao, Virginia

The Cavaliers coach led his team to an upset win at Arizona, 75-72. Sean Singletary scored 24 points and Virginia showed great poise to leave Tucson with a big W!

Diaper Dandy of the week: Eric Gordon, Indiana

What a debut for the Hoosier guard. My friends, he has been compared to being an impact player a la Isiah Thomas and he showed why with 33 points (including seven-of-11 trifectas) in a victory over Chattanooga. Gordon followed up with 21 points (including five more three-pointers) in 26 minutes in a rout of Longwood.

Shock of the week: New Orleans over N.C. State

The Privateers used a late 9-2 run to score a stunner at Raleigh, 65-63. T.J. Worley banked in a three-pointer with 1.7 seconds left just moments after Gavin Grant's driving basket gave the Wolfpack a short-lived lead. Three defenders were on Worley when he launched the winning hoop.
