The Houston men’s basketball program rose up to No. 7 in the AP Poll on Monday morning following its absurd win at the buzzer over Memphis.
The Cougars (21-3, 14-3 American Athletic Conference) beat the Tigers on a near, half-court shot from UH freshman Tramon Mark as time expired, which sent UH coaches, players and fans alike into a frenzy.
No. 7 UH men’s basketball earned 1,173 points from AP voters in the recent poll, which was a 64-point increase from a week ago. The Cougars had just 1,109 points in last Monday’s poll.
