South Carolina basketball is off to a 3-5 start.
South Carolina basketball coach Frank Martin believed that this was his top team in Columbia since the Gamecocks’ Final Four run back in 2016-17. The roster returned strong guard play in Jermaine Couisnard and AJ Lawson, an experienced transfer in Seventh Woods, and promising post players Keyshawn Bryant, Justin Minaya, Jalyn McCreary, and Alanzo Frink.
