In a cramped spare room somewhere in Stegeman Coliseum, Frank Martin was asked about whether a loss to Georgia concerned him. “We’re 22 games into this. Who we are as a team has already been formed.” So, 22 games in, who are the Gamecocks? If you’re playing word association for this season, you might think “South Carolina, success.” That wouldn’t be wrong. The Gamecocks had an undefeated non-conference season, are in the SEC race, have been in and out of the polls and are easily Martin’s best team at South Carolina. But even at 19-3, there are reasons to be concerned about the Gamecocks [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2016/02/04/is-it-time-to-worry-about-south-carolina/feed/ 0 Lithuanian Duo Fueling South Carolina’s Hot Start http://rushthecourt.net/2015/11/27/lithuanian-duo-fueling-south-carolinas-hot-start/ http://rushthecourt.net/2015/11/27/lithuanian-duo-fueling-south-carolinas-hot-start/#respond Fri, 27 Nov 2015 17:31:08 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=111956

A dark horse is emerging in the SEC, as South Carolina knocked of Tulsa to win the Paradise Jam and cap off its first 5-0 start since 2003-04. Two of the main reasons for the great start have been a pair of senior forwards from basketball-crazed Lithuania — Laimons Chatkevicius and Mindaugas Kacinas. One of the storylines coming into the season was whether the Gamecocks’ senior-laden frontcourt could support its rotation of dynamic, big-bodied guards. Early on, the bigs have done far more than just support.

The rumors had spread rampant over the weekend, and while an official contract has yet to be signed, it appears that Kansas State head coach Frank Martin is bolting from Manhattan, Kansas, to take the job at South Carolina. Several outlets have reported the story, including the Kansas City Star, which reports that an announcement is scheduled for Tuesday at a press conference. Assuming that contract details are all that remain from making this official, we can go ahead and assume that Martin will be the [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2012/03/26/frank-martin-making-surprise-move-from-k-state-to-south-carolina/feed/ 1
