Houston ends season with share of 2020 AAC championship

The Cougars earned a share of the American Athletic Conference regular-season championship after defeating the Memphis Tigers 64-57, and Wichita State defeated Tulsa 79-57 on Sunday afternoon.

The Cougars share the 2020 AAC title with the Golden Hurricane and the Cincinnati Bearcats, who each finished with a 13-5 conference record.

“When you go through the grind of the season (if Tulsa loses) and there are three champions, there are three deserving teams,” head coach Kelvin Sampson said.

Even though all teams finished as champions, Cincinnati will be the No. 1 seed in the AAC tournament, Houston will be No.
