PJ Haggerty made eight free throws and forced a huge turnover in the final minute as 16th-ranked Memphis beat Tulane 78-77 to advance to the American Athletic Conference Tournament championship game.

The shot fell and the referee’s whistle blew. Dainja reclined on the floor, stuck his tongue out and flexed his muscles toward the rafters. He knocked down the subsequent free throw as Daniels (who fouled out on the play) found his seat on the Green Wave bench.

Memphis found a way to survive and advance past Tulane on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers will play in the AAC title game on Sunday.
