South Carolina’s basketball season ended just hours prior to its SEC tournament opener against Arkansas. That’s when the call was made, amid the recent spread of COVID-19, to scratch all major conference tournaments, eventually leading to the cancellation of the NCAA postseason altogether.
The Gamecocks closed out the regular season at 18-13, earning a 6th place finish in the Southeastern Conference. With the season coming to an early halt, I started thinking about Frank Martin and how to evaluate his tenure as head coach at USC.
South Carolina was able to finish in the top half of the league for the 4th time in the last 5 years.
