Prior to Saturday, a Frank Martin-coached South Carolina team hadn’t lost by more than 20 points at home since Feb. 13, 2016.
Those Gamecocks, though, were 21-4 after Kentucky rolled through Colonial Life Arena with an 89-62 victory. Martin said in that post-game press conference USC was given a “couple black eyes” by the Wildcats. Following the 65-41 loss to Florida on Saturday, the conversation was less about the opponent.
Carolina (13-12, 4-8 SEC) has dropped five games in a row, the last three coming by 16 points or more.
“We’re a hurt team right now,” Martin said.
