Meltdown in progress for Houston. No poise. Sorry Coach Hurley, they don't look like a Final 4 team to me. 11 missed free throws! Out of control. Bad shots. Started milking clock and couldn't execute in half court.

Penny will get things rolling at Memphis, they outplayed Houston big time to close this gap.

3 point game with 28 ticks left. Great game. Houston is blowing it but the atmosphere is rocking in Memphis.

Where the heck were these refs when we were playing Cinci in semis at the xl center 2 years ago?!?

Houston survives. They did nearly everything to lose that game and just ran out of time.

While Memphis picked up the pace and played better in last 10 minutes, they had a ton of shots in close that they simply missed. Numerous opportunities to tie, but couldn't do it. If Houston hit some FTs, it wouldn't have been very close. That Houston choked at the FT line isn't due to Memphis defense. But it should be concerning regarding their ability to close out a game in the tourney in the same situation.

Cost them the Michigan game last year. Will certainly cost them again if it doesn't improve.
