No. 16 Memphis Secures Share of AAC Regular-Season Title in Narrow Win Over UTSA

The Tigers clinched their first regular-season conference title since 2013 with a 75-70 victory and remain in contention to win the title outright.

Memphis defeated UTSA 75-70, overcoming 22 turnovers to secure at least a share of the American Athletic Conference regular-season title.
Dain Dainja led Memphis with 19 points and eight rebounds, while PJ Haggerty contributed 18 points, including clutch free throws in the final seconds.
The Tigers dominated the boards with a 45-25 rebounding advantage, offsetting their struggles with turnovers throughout the game.
This marks Memphis' first regular-season conference title since their 2012-13 season in Conference USA, and they will be the top seed in the AAC tournament starting March 12.
Memphis can clinch the outright AAC title with a win in their final regular-season game against South Florida or a North Texas loss.
