With five seconds left on the clock, Houston’s star guard Jamal Shead drove to the left wing and went to work. After a screen from a teammate wasn’t set properly, Shead started to drive to his right and was met by Tigers players defending tight. But Shead got just enough separation to plant his feet for a pull-up jumper inside the three-point line. As the shot went up, the Memphis crowd was out of their seats, hoping for overtime.
Shead, with ice in his veins, didn’t let that happen as the ball went through the hoop for the 67-65 victory.
