FORT WORTH — Top-seeded UH advanced to its fourth consecutive American Athletic Conference 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 an early hole.
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.
