South Carolina basketball started 3 to 5.
South Carolina basketball coach Frank Martin believed this was his best team in Colombia since the Gamecocks Final Four in 2016-17. The squad returned a strong guard game in Jermaine Couisnard and AJ Lawson, an experienced transfer in Seventh Woods, and post-promise players like Keyshawn Bryant, Justin Minaya, Jalyn McCreary and Alanzo Frink.
“There were three times in my career when I had this kind of experience and depth in a team at this time of year. In 2010, at K-State, we set the school record with 29 wins. I had it here in 2016 and we set the school record with 25 wins and, again, in 2017 with 26 wins and we went to the Final Four … I know what we have in hand and I’m excited because we have big kids and experience… veteran guards and long and active attackers and has a chance to be a great defensive team. You have a chance, in my opinion, to come back. “
Unfortunately, for many different reasons, those expectations have not met, with the team starting from 3 to 5 and in the middle of a three-game skid. Gamecocks declined on the straight in clashes with Houston and LSU, although they did not appear competitive in competitions against LIberty, Missouri and Auburn.
What is the problem and is all the fault of Coach Martin? What will your future be like in Colombia if things continue on this path for the rest of 2021?
