Alana Davis led Memphis with 13 points, while Jamirah Shutes came off the bench to post 12 points with three rebounds and a pair of assists. Jatyjia Jones led Memphis with nine rebounds.
The win marks the Cougars fourth straight victory and third regular-season sweep over a conference opponent this season. Houston owned the paint, outscoring Memphis 46-26 down low. The Cougar reserves played a big role in the win, outscoring the Memphis bench 30-20.
Crump's 15 points marked her sixth straight game with 10 or more points. Hill had a perfect shooting day, going 6-of-6 from the field and 3-of-3 from the free throw line.
The Houston defense picked up 14 steals for its 10th game this season with 10 or more steals. For the second straight game, UH had all three freshmen see time on the court, each scoring at least one field-goal.
