2. Memphis Tigers (Overall: 97)

• The Star: #23 is Derrick Rose. In the game, he is a slashing point guard with athleticism that breaks the game's physics engine.
• The Support: #1 (Chris Douglas-Roberts) is a silky smooth scorer.
• Why Play Them: Their roster is deep, athletic, and perfect for a high-tempo, "Press and Run" style of play.

3. UCLA Bruins (Overall: 96)

The Bruins were a defensive juggernaut under Ben Howland, and the game reflects that. college hoops 2k8 teams list

• The Star: #0 is Kevin Love. He is a unique center who can outlet pass (a specialty in 2K8) and stretch the floor.
• The Support: #1 (Darren Collison) is lightning quick, and #11 (Russell Westbrook) provides high-flying athleticism off the bench (or starting at the 2-guard).
• Why Play Them: For players who love half-court sets, pick-and-rolls, and lockdown defense.
