Houston Wins Big 12 Tournament Over Arizona

The Houston Cougars triumphed in the Big 12 Tournament with a 72-64 victory over Arizona, marking their second major title this season after claiming the regular season championship. Key player Milos Uzan led with 25 points, including four 3-pointers, helping Houston overcome a halftime deficit with a strong second-half performance. Despite missing star player J'Wan Roberts due to injury, Houston's defense was pivotal, holding Arizona without a field goal in the final minutes. With this win, Houston is poised as a projected No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, having demonstrated dominance with a 21-1 record against Big 12 opponents this season. This victory also highlights the Cougars' strong defensive capabilities, as evidenced by their earlier 74-54 semifinal win against BYU. Houston's success in the tournament sets them up as a formidable contender for the NCAA championship.
