This game was hardly close as the Huskies secured their first AAC Tournament title and an automatic NCAA Tournament berth.
The UConn Huskies showed no signs of fatigue from playing three games in three days as they comfortably beat the Memphis Tigers, 72-58, to win their first American Athletic Conference tournament championship. It is the Huskies' first conference championship of any kind since 2011.
Though UConn was already probably in the tournament field after wins over Cincinnati and Temple, it never hurts to eliminate doubt and also add another solid win to the résumé. The Huskies earned the 9-seed in the South Region and will be taking on No.
