The South Carolina men’s basketball team’s Final Four run could mean bigger opportunities for some on the staff.
CBSSports’ Gary Parrish tweeted Gamecocks assistant Matt Figger is in talks to become the next head coach at Austin Peay. Figger has been with Frank Martin through for all five years in Columbia and has been associate head coach the past four.
