Memphis was playing its best basketball down the stretch, winning seven of their final eight games. Having charged back into the picture for a potential at-large bid, the Tigers dream of reaching the NCAA Tournament likely required two wins in the conference tournament. On Thursday afternoon, those dreams turned to a nightmare against Houston.

Leading up to this game, the Tigers made it clear that they wanted to face Houston. Houston made it clear that they were ready.
