Memphis vs Houston Preview
The top-seeded Houston Cougars look to repeat as American Athletic Conference tournament champions when they face the third-seeded Memphis Tigers in the AAC title game on Sunday afternoon at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
Houston is ranked 18th nationally and will be playing in their fourth straight AAC championship game, while Memphis has been torrid down the stretch, winning 12 of 13 games en route to their first AAC final appearance since 2016.
The Tigers upset the Cougars twice this season, beating them on the road on Feb. 12, 69-59, and then sweeping the series with a victory at home in the regular-season finale on Mar. 6, 75-61.
Here’s a look at the breakdown for each team as they head into Sunday’s championship game:
No. 1 Houston Cougars (28-5, 15-3 AAC)
Houston is primed for another deep run this season after winning the AAC’s regular-season title and matching last season’s 28-win mark. The Cougars have overcome losing four starters from last year’s squad that advanced to the Final Four and then losing this season’s leading scorer Marcus Sasser to a season-ending injury in December.
Houston advanced to the AAC final with wins over Cincinnati in the quarterfinals (69-56) and Tulane in the semifinals (86-66).
Senior guard Kyler Edwards led the way for the Cougars in their twenty-point win over Tulane on Saturday with a team-best 20 points, which included six three-pointers. Edwards also added eight assists and seven rebounds.
Houston features two All-AAC First Team members in graduate student forward/center Josh Carlton and graduate student forward Fabian White Jr. Carlton is averaging 11.8 points per game and a team-high 6.5 rebounds per game, while White Jr. is averaging 13.0 points per game.
The Cougars’ eighth-year head coach Kelvin Sampson was named the AAC Coach of the Year and is one of ten semifinalists for the Naismith Coach of the Year.
No. 3 Memphis Tigers (21-9, 13-5 AAC)
Memphis is one of the hottest teams in the country entering Selection Sunday, winners of six in a row and 12 of its last 13 contests.
The Tigers’ leading scorer and rebounder is Jalen Duren, who is averaging 12.2 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. The freshman center, who is the AAC’s leading rebounder and shot-blocker, was named the AAC Freshman of the Year and selected to the All-AAC First Team.
Memphis made it to their first AAC championship game in six years with wins over UCF (85-69) and SMU (70-63).
Landers Nolley II and Alex Lomax paced the Tigers in their semifinal win over second-seeded SMU with 12 points apiece.
