It's March, so you know there's going to be madness.

Memphis was closing in on overtime against the No. 90ranked Houston men's basketball team thanks to a late game-tying 3-pointer. But an improbable sequence squashed any idea of an upset and handed Houston a buzzer-beating 67-64 victory that the month of March is known for.

Memphis sophomore Boogie Ellis hit a 3-pointer on an assist by Malcolm Dandridge to tie it at 64-64 with 1.7 seconds left. It was the first points for either team since the 3-minute mark of the half when Memphis made a layup.
