| Transcript | SWC Classic History, XVII & XVIII p?w V nt ftfr SWC CLASSIC XVII - MARCH 15,1992 (REUNION ARENA) HOUSTON 91, TEXAS 72 DALLAS - Houston overcame an 11-point deficit, 36.7 percent first half shooting and fatigue to cruise to a 91 -72 win over Texas, a team that had beaten the Cougars in their two previous regular-season meetings, to claim the championship of the Post-Season Classic XVII. Texas' vaunted defensive pressure was to no avail as the Cougars pounded the ball inside to outscore the Longhorns 58-35, while shooting a warm 69 percent in the second-half before 11.156 fans and a national Raycom and Prime Network television audience. The Cougars were led by senior Sam Mack's 28 points, while junior guard Derrick Smith scored 15 of his 17 points after halftime to increase Houston's win streak to nine games and its win total to 25. Smith canned two three-pointers during a 16-6 Cougar run that launched the second half. Senior forward Craig Upchurch scored three baskets during that run and scored 16 of his 20 points in the second stanza. The comeback marked the second-straight for Houston after the Cougars overcame a 22-4 deficit in its double- overtime semifinal win over TCU the night before that lasted to almost midnight. After shooting 50 percent in the first half, Texas connected on just 37.1 percent from the field in the second period, including 0-for-5 in their normally comfortable three-point range. Texas' Dexter Cambridge was named the Classic MVP after scoring 29 points in the final, becoming only the third player in tournament history from the losing team to win the honor. Houston's win avenged two Longhorn victories earlier in the year after the two teams tied for the regular-season championship with identical 11-3 records. The Cougars raised their record in SWC Classic championship games to 4-3 overall and 3-0 over the Longhorns.

True at least to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, anyway. Tech entered the championship game of the Post-Season Classic XVIII with a perfect 3-0 title game record. They learned from their past appearances and, against Houston on this day, history repeated itself as the Red Raiders won a convincing 88- 76 championship victory over the Cougars. The Red Raiders, after finishing fifth in the Southwest Conference regular- season standings, entered the Classic with something to prove. Impressive shooting from the field and an inspired performance from sophomore guard Lance Hughes, help Tech prove one thing: They were the SWC Classic champions and were headed to the NCAA Tournament. The Red Raiders shot a warm 54 percent from the field and an impressive 50 percent from the three-point line, while Houston went just 5-for-20 from that distance. The Cougars also only shot 40 percent from the field and played catchup the entire game, falling behind by as many as 18 points in the first half. A 7-2 run at the end of the first half cut the Tech lead to 13 points. However, the Red Raiders opened the second stanza with a 19-6 run keyed by several Houston turnovers and 11 points by Hughes and senior Will Flemons. That run opened-up a game-high 26-point Tech lead. Despite 29 second-half points by UH's Charles Outlaw, David Diaz and Anthony Goldwire, the Cougars could get no closer than 10 points the rest of the way. The win increased Texas Tech's record in the Classic to 26-13, the second-best in the SWC behind Houston's 27-13 mark. Tech also improved to an undefeated 4- 0 record in Classic championship games. Red Raider coach James Dickey also increased his career record in the Classic to 4-1. Hughes was named the Tournament MVP, while teammate Will Flemons was named to the All-Tournament team, along with Houston's David Diaz and Charles Outlaw.
