Houston won its regular-season finale 67-64 in a thriller off freshman guard Tramon Mark’s half-court prayer game-winner and give the Cougars a 21-3 overall record on the year.
Just the possession prior, Tigers guard Lester Quinones missed the tying three off the inbound, but an offensive board by Dandridge gave Memphis sophomore Boogie Ellis a wide-open look and he sunk it to tie the game at 64 apiece with 1.7 seconds to go.
Then came the rest of the madness when sophomore guard Marcus Sasser inbounded the ball to Tramon Mark at half court and Mark knocked in the off-balance three for the win to power UH over the finish line.
