For the first time since March 2017, Houston has dropped back-to-back games, as Memphis defeated the sixth-ranked Cougars 69-59, ending UH’s 37 game win streak at the Fertitta Center.
As the saying goes, basketball is a game of runs and this was on full display on Saturday afternoon.
Memphis was hungry from the get-go and it showed in the game’s opening minutes as the Tigers put together a 15-4 run.
Taze Moore refused to let Memphis deliver the knockout punch early on, as the UH graduate guard scored seven consecutive points to get the Cougars within three points midway through the first half.
