With the best performances of his career, the Conference USA tournament belonged to Chris Crawford. It just took a little longer for him to get heated up in the championship game and lead No. 20 Memphis to its seventh conference title in the past eight years. Crawford scored 20 of his 23 points in the final 13 minutes, including the go-ahead 3-pointer in double overtime, and the Tigers beat Southern Miss 91-79 on Saturday to cut down the nets for the third straight year.
