Top-ranked Houston converted a last-second shot to fend off Memphis in the regular season finale. Jamal Shead nailed a midrange jumper as time expired to lead the Cougars past the Tigers 67-65. Shead scored 16 points and dished out seven assists in Houston's 11th straight win heading into tournament week. Tramon Mark tied Shead for the team-lead with 16 points on a day where the Cougars shot just 58.3-percent from the free throw line. Houston improved to 29-and-2 overall and finishes the regular season 17-and-1 in conference play. They will face either East Carolina or South Florida on Friday in the AAC Championship quarterfinals.
