The No. 22 Cougars are traveling to Memphis, Tennessee to take on the Tigers on Saturday for the first of two meetings in the final four games of the season.
Houston enters the contest coming off a dominating 33-point win against Tulsa while Memphis defeated East Carolina 77-73 at home.
The Cougars were led by redshirt freshman guard Caleb Mills in the win, who scored a career-high 27 points, 19 of which came all at once to begin the second half.
About Memphis
The Tigers had lost three-straight games before Wednesday’s win, but that means nothing for head coach Kelvin Sampson, who pointed out how they forced overtime against the Cincinnati Bearcats, controlled most of the game against UConn and narrowly fell to South Florida in those losses.
