celebrate during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against the Towson Tigers in Houston, Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025. – Freshman point guard and Brennan alum Kingston Flemings scored 22 points as top-ranked Houston held on for a 73-72 victory over No. 22 Auburn on Sunday. In a matchup of Final Four teams from last season, the Cougars led throughout the second half, building multiple eight-point margins. Auburn rallied behind a raucous neutral-site home crowd and had two chances to take the lead on the final possession. Two driving attempts by Tahaad Pettiford were nixed by Houston’s defense, including a block by Flemings. Auburn’s out-of-bounds lob play with 1 second left was batted away at the rim.Keyshawn Hall led the Tigers with 20 points and 11 rebounds — his third consecutive double-double — though he made only 6 of 16 shots. He wasn’t around for the climactic possession. He injured his right foot after being fouled with 4:14 left. He sank two free throws before hobbling to the bench.Pettiford scored 15 points on 5-of-14 shooting, while Auburn’s Kevin Overton scored 13 points.The Tigers held a massive edge in free-throw attempts, but didn’t fully capitalize, making 21 of 33 to the Cougars’ 10 of 12. After scoring 90-plus points in their first three wins over mid-major competition, the Tigers found themselves suffocated by Houston’s gritty defense. They shot 39% compared with 43% by the Cougars. Flemings poured in 18 first-half points, including a late 3 that put Houston up 39-35 heading into the locker room. He didn’t score again until 5:54 remained in the game, making a driving layup that gave the Cougars a 66-62 cushion.Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
