MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Jamal Shead scored 16 points, including the winning basket as time ran out, and top-ranked Houston escaped a second-half rally by Memphis for a 67-65 win in the regular-season finale. Shead’s basket from inside the foul lane came as the horn sounded. Nine seconds earlier, Memphis’ Kendrick Davis drove to the basket and tied the game at 65. Tramon Mark matched Shead’s 16 points, while Marcus Sasser finished with 13 for Houston. Davis led Memphis with 26 points, while Chandler Lawson added 10. The two teams have the top seeds for the American Athletic Conference.
