For the second consecutive season, the American Athletic Conference throne belongs to Houston alone.
Top-ranked UH locked up sole ownership of the AAC’s regular-season title with its ninth straight win, putting on a defensive clinic in its 76-57 victory over East Carolina on Saturday night in Greenville, North Carolina.
This was UH’s fourth regular season conference title, the third outright as the Cougars shared the 2019-20 crown with Cincinnati and Tulsa, in the last five seasons.
With March approaching, UH continued to sharpen its blade by setting the tone early on the defensive end of the floor.
