FORT WORTH — Top-seeded Houston advanced to its fourth-consecutive American Atheltic Conference Championship Tournament Final with a 86-66 victory over Tulane in the semifinals.
Tulane got off on the right start and opened the game with a 9-2 run to force a UH timeout.
A similar slow start to the game compared to their previous game had UH digging itself out of a hole from the early-going.
The Cougars wasted no time turning around another bad start as they sparked an 11-0 run to force the Green Wave to call timeout and lead 13-9 with 13:29 left in the first half.
