HOUSTON, TEXAS - FEBRUARY 19: J'Wan Roberts #13 of the Houston Cougars drives to the basket over Chandler Lawson #4 of the Memphis Tigers during the first half at Fertitta Center on February 19, 2023 in Houston, Texas. As March approaches, University of Houston players recently stressed the need to maintain big leads in the second half.
By vanquishing one of the few challengers to American Athletic Conference supremacy, the Cougars extended their lead to 2 ½ games over second-place Tulane and three games over Memphis with four games left in the regular season. Memphis , among the bubble teams in the latest NCAA Tournament projections, opened the second half with a 13-6 run to pull within 38-34 after back-to-back 3-pointers by Elijah McCadden and Damaria Franklin.
After allowing SMU to cut a 23-point lead to 11 points Thursday, coach Kelvin Sampson said the Cougars “let go of the rope a little bit on defense.” Shead added that teams that don’t know how to maintain a lead “won’t go very far” in the postseason.
