Another game, another opposing head coach heaping praise all over the Kentucky Wildcats. This time around it was South Carolina’s Frank Martin, who is preparing his Gamecocks squad for a Tuesday night showdown against the No. 5 ranked ‘Cats.
Martin, who has been the head man at South Carolina since the 2012-13 season, has seen plenty of impressive John Calipari-coached Kentucky squads over the years. In 10 battles between the two, Martin has only come out on top in three of those meetings. He knows first-hand what a championship-caliber UK team looks like, and he sees shades of that in this current collection of Wildcats.
