Another misleading click-bait thread title. Maybe add 'Candidate' to the end?

It’s halftime of the very fun Memphis/Houston game.
This is the longest I’ve watched Houston play since their injuries forced more PT for Carlton and what’s interesting about Sampson’s offense is that even though they play with two bigs, Carlton is usually on the elbow when he doesn’t have the ball. This allows the spacing for their guards/wings to penetrate and then also decreases the odds of Carlton getting doubled once he’s in the low post.
IIRC, I don’t recall Carlton playing on the elbow much at UConn. Pretty smart move by Sampson.

Carlton has 22 and 11 (and counting) as Houston battles Wichita State in double OT on ESPN. He just hit his first career three-pointer!
Also just now made a massive And-1 lay-up to go ahead with 13 seconds left. Could be Josh's greatest career highlight if Houston wins here...
