Houston avoided a Memphis upset, hit the under on glorious buzzer-beater
There’s a reason that Houston is the top men’s basketball team in the country.
The Cougars avoided an upset on the road at conference rival Memphis on Sunday, topping the Tigers 67-65 ahead of next weekend’s American Athletic Conference tournament.
It was junior guard Jamal Shead for the Cougars who knocked down the buzzer-beater for Houston, extending the team’s winning streak to 11 games.
The basket also helped Houston bettors with the game staying with the under (Houston -180), even though Memphis did cover the 4.5-point spread.
Being that it’s March and all, Houston will have to hope they’ve got more onions on the shelf and more magic at the buzzer.

Houston should be the favorite to take the AAC tournament next weekend and might be the overall favorite to win the NCAA tournament later this month.
As for Memphis, they’re likely going to want to get even with Houston next weekend if the two meet again in the conference tourney.
