Houston forward Fabian White Jr. celebrates after a making a basket during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Cincinnati in the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, Friday, March 11, 2022. – Houston looked more like itself in the second half, with the 18th-ranked Cougars counting on big man Fabian White Jr. to finish off their American Athletic Conference tournament opener.
“Once we got to halftime, we just came up with a new plan ... here’s what we’re going to do, play through Fabian and extend our pick-and-roll defense,” Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson said. “Cincinnati played with a lot of confidence that first half, whereas we played like this was our first game of the tournament."
This was the fourth AAC tournament in a row in which Cincinnati and Houston played each other. The previous three had been in championship games, with the Bearcats winning in 2018 and 2019 before the Cougars won 91-54 for last year's title after the 2020 tournament was called off because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’m really proud of our guys. I thought they fought like absolute crazy tonight and yesterday,” first-year Cincinnati coach Wes Miller said. “Given the way we finished the year in the win-loss column, I think you have to recognize that. ... This group has been admirable throughout the last four weeks, through a tough stretch to keep trying to come back and figure it out.”Jeremiah Davenport and John Newman III had 13 points each for Cincinnati, which shot season-low 28.
