FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jamal Shead had 16 points and nine assists as top-ranked Houston advanced to its fifth American Athletic Conference championship game in a row with a 69-48 win over Cincinnati. The 31-2 Cougars led throughout, even after ACC player of the year Marcus Sasser left with an apparent groin injury late in the first half. J’Wan Roberts had two second-chance layups for the Cougars in the opening minute of the game that matched two teams that are Big 12-bound next season. Roberts finished with 16 points and eight rebounds. Landers Nolley II had 14 points for 21-12 Cincinnati.
