Frank Martin has plans for a nice little Saturday.
South Carolina hosts No. 14 Texas Tech at noon, tipping off a nine-hour basketball marathon that could end with Martin’s league claiming it’s the nation’s best.
“I’m hoping we play well, I think we will,” the USC coach said Thursday evening on his “Carolina Calls” radio show. “I’m hoping the crowd is absolutely nuts. And obviously I hope that by 2:30 I’m in a real, real good mood.
“And knowing that we don’t play until the following Wednesday and knowing it’s at home, so we don’t have to travel, I’m going to sit down Saturday with the kids and the wife and we’re gonna watch some TV.
