Frank Martin was forever hearing about the same two schools from his coaching buddy.
Kansas State and Oklahoma State.
The first one, Martin understood. That's where his friend had dreamed about playing when he was growing up in Kansas, where he'd lived that dream and played college basketball and gotten his degree and even met his wife.
The second one?
Martin, now the men's basketball coach at South Carolina, didn't get his buddy's orange-and-black passion at first, but it didn't take long for him to understand why Brad Underwood was always talking about OSU, too.
