UH finishes conference regular-season with Memphis road loss

UH men’s basketball capped off its conference regular-season schedule with a 75-61 defeat on the road against Memphis.

The Cougars finish the regular season with a 26-5 overall record while sitting at 15-3 in American Athletic Conference play.

Memphis’ full-court press and disruptive defense posed a challenge for the UH men’s basketball team to start the game as the Cougars recorded five turnovers inside the first 3:43.

The Tigers took control early as they jumped on a 7-2 run to lead 11-4 and force a Cougars timeout.

Foul trouble haunted UH early on as sophomore guard Jamal Shead, graduate guard Taze Moore and graduate forward Josh Carlton all recorded two fouls inside the first 10 minutes of the game.
