In American Athletic Conference men's basketball action on Sunday (Jan. 12), both No. 21/22 Memphis and No. 23 Wichita State picked up road league wins.

Wichita State 89, UConn 86 (2OT) - Box Score

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Wichita State gave up a nine-point point lead in just over a minute at the end of regulation and had two key players foul out during two overtimes.

But the Shockers found a way to get their ninth consecutive win, and eighth straight on the road dating to last season, as they held off UConn 89-86 on Sunday.

''I thought we were tremendously tough and ratty, pursuing balls and getting stops,'' coach Gregg Marshall said. ''Both teams just fought like crazy and left it all out there.''

Jaime Echenique led four Wichita State players in double figures with 19 points before fouling out. Erik Stevenson, who also picked up his fifth foul in OT, and Dexter Dennis each scored 16 for the Shockers (15-1, 3-0 American Athletic Conference). Jamarius Burton added 13 points.

Christian Vital scored 25 points for UConn (10-6, 1-3). James Bouknight had 16 points and Alterique Gilbert added 14.

Wichita State seemed to have the game in hand, leading 69-60 with 1:05 remaining after a pair of free throws from Stevenson.

But the Huskies' pressing defense forced several turnovers, including a shot-clock violation that gave the Huskies the ball down 69-66 with just over 10 seconds left.

Sidney Wilson's 3-pointer from the left baseline tied the game, and he blocked Dennis' shot to force overtime.

''I didn't really expect to get the ball. We had set a play up for somebody else,'' said Wilson, who scored 12 points. ''It just happened to be in my hands and I made the shot. Then after that I knew they were going to have 2 seconds on the clock to be able to make something happen, so I just made an attempt on the ball.''

A 3-point play by Dennis in the paint gave the Shockers a two-point lead late in the first OT. But Josh Carlton, who finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds, made two of four free throws on separate possessions and Tyson Etienne missed a contested shot under the basket at the buzzer to send the game into a second overtime.

Etienne opened the second extra period with a three-point play and Wichita State never gave the lead back.

''It was a definitely gut punch,'' Etienne said of the way the Shockers lost the lead in regulation. ''But a team like us, a young team, we needed to go into some type of environment like this. We needed to go on the road and come back and win it.''

UConn had a chance to tie, but Morris Udeze drew a charge on Gilbert. After two missed free throws by Burton at the other end, Vital missed a 3-pointer with 2 seconds left.

The Shockers were playing only their second true road game of the season. They previously won at Oklahoma State.

Memphis 68, USF 64 - Box Score

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Precious Achiuwa had 22 points and 11 rebounds and No. 21 Memphis rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit to beat USF, 68-64, and stop a two-game losing streak on Sunday.

Tyler Harris finished with 17 points for the Tigers (13-3, 2-1 American Athletic Conference), who held USF (8-9, 1-3) scoreless from the field over the final 6:37. Lester Quinones scored 13 for Memphis, which trailed 51-37 with 13 minutes left.

Achiuwa's three-point play gave Memphis its first lead since midway through the first half, and the 6-foot-9 freshman from Queens, New York, put the Tigers ahead for good, 63-61, with 1:40 remaining.

David Collins led USF with 24 points, but the Bulls missed nine of 10 shots after the junior guard's dunk capped an 8-0 spurt that gave South Florida its biggest lead of the day. The team's lone basket down the stretch was Ezacuras Dawson's jumper for a 58-54 lead.

Memphis had 22 turnovers but helped itself down the stretch by doing a better job of protecting the ball over the last 10 minutes.

The Tigers also overcame a slow start from the foul line, making eight of 11 free throws in the last 5:28 to rebound from consecutive losses to Georgia and No. 23 Wichita State.
