Houston had lost the last four matchups against Memphis (7-3, 5-3 American Athletic Conference) entering Saturday’s game. UH was unable to shake a slow start and lost its fifth straight game against the Tigers 27-30.
The Cougars (3-4, 3-3 AAC) put up the first points of the game, but got outscored 27-3 the rest of the way until a 21-point fourth quarter by UH tied the game.
However, the Cougars’ defense could not hold serve in the final 28 seconds of the game and Memphis won it on a last second field goal.
