Fittingly, some would say, Frank Martin uses a boxing analogy to describe South Carolina’s approach to playing basketball. It is not made-for-TV watch-this highlight. It is old-school sweat and effort.

“I’ve been in the ring and I boxed,” Martin said Thursday. “If we were boxing, we’re not going in there to dance and run around. We’re going in there and see if you’re willing to knock me out. We’re not going to just try to dance and hide. That’s not what we do.”

South Carolina competes. Fellow coaches, surely including Kentucky’s John Calipari (who repeatedly calls for his players to “fight” and “battle”), admire this willingness to take challenges head on. But, surely, they like it better when the Gamecocks make some other team decide whether to compete or meekly submit.

I believe SC will be the one doing the sweating when it's all over. Run cats run!!!

I like our chances a lot but they along with us are a team that is unbeaten in conference play.

I wonder how many foul will be taken tonight? It's going to be a big number. imo

Bam missed 4 of those 7 free throws too!

Problem is Bam shoots the most free-throws of any player on the team.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-22-2017, 07:18 AM:

He did shoot 67% from the line last night though! He probably missed 1 more than most college players shoot on average. Which would have been 75%.

Bam has made 76 of his 123 attempts for the year.
