Martin: Memphis gets a crack at Houston on Sunday. My advice? Punt
Memphis point guard Kendric Davis (3) brings the ball up the court during a Dec. 17, 2022 game against Texas A&M University. With Davis battling an injured ankle, John Martin believes it might be best for Coach Hardaway to rest him regardless if he feels okay to play Sunday at Houston.
