In a month when heroes are born, Jamal Shead got the Madness started for No. 1 Houston on Sunday afternoon in Memphis.
Tied at 65 with 8.9 seconds left, Shead drove the length of the court, rose up and hit the buzzer-beating bucket, lifting the top-ranked Cougars past Memphis 67-65- to stun a packed FedEx Forum.
Shead finished with 16 points and seven assists.
With the win, UH tied its program record for regular season wins with 29 and also matched SMU for the best single-season conference record in AAC history, finishing 17-1 in league play.
