Game Preview

No. 1 Houston already has captured the outright regular-season title in the American Athletic Conference.

The Cougars (27-2, 15-1 AAC) clinched with a 76-57 victory Saturday at East Carolina, reaching 15 wins in league play for a second straight season.

“I’m happy for our kids to be rewarded with winning a conference championship,” Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said after the win over the Pirates. “That’s not easy to do.”
