HOUSTON -- Damyean Dotson scored 18 points with four 3-pointers, Galen Robinson Jr. made the game-winning free throw and blocked a potential game-tying 3-pointer, and Houston rallied to beat Tulsa 64-61 on Wednesday night to win its third straight.
After 14 ties and eight lead changes, Houston went up 62-59 after Robinson made two free throws with 25 seconds left. Tulsa closed to 61-62 on two free throws by Corey Henderson Jr. Wes VanBeck made a pair free throws for a 64-61 Cougars' lead and Robinson blocked Henderson's 3-pointer with four seconds left. Henderson got the rebound but his jumper was off the mark and time ran out.
