 Memphis Wins American Championship; Tigers, Houston Headed to NCAA Tournament-Mar 13, 2023
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Kendric Davis (6'0''-PG-1999) scored 31 points, including 14 in a big run before halftime, and second-seeded Memphis held on to beat No. 1 Houston 75-65 in the American Athletic Conference tournament championship game Sunday.
DeAndre Williams (6'9''-F) had 16 points and 13 rebounds for coach Penny Hardaway and the Tigers (26-8), who got the league's automatic NCAA Tournament bid. They are going to March Madness for the second year in a row. The Cougars (31-3) beat Memphis 71-53 in last year's AAC tournament championship game, and won both regular-season matchups this season. J'Wan Roberts (6'7''-F) had 12 points and 20 rebounds for Houston. Jamal Shead (6'1''-G) had 15 points on 3-of-14 shooting, and Jarace Walker (6'8''-F-2003) had 13 points before fouling out. The Cougars trailed by 18 at halftime, but got within 55-50 with 11:03 left after Shead scored eight points in a row for them in a two-minute span. His 3-pointer capped a 12-1 run, and he made another long-range shot before two free throws, but that was the closest Houston would get. Memphis had taken control with a 16-2 run in the first half. Davis had all but two of those points and made two 3-pointers only 9 seconds apart. That big spurt started on a fast-break layup by Davis with just under eight minutes left. Davis made a 3, and then Alex Lomax (6'0''-PG-2000) made a backcourt steal and passed to Davis at the top of the key for another 3. By time Davis made another fast-break layup with 3:36 left, the Tigers had doubled up Houston, 40-20. Courtesy of theamerican.org  All-AAC Awards 2023-Mar 13, 2023
