Following a third straight loss – this one coming by 23 points – the South Carolina men’s basketball team held a players-only meeting Sunday to hash out issues and create a plan for moving forward. Junior forward Chris Silva was the most vocal of the Gamecocks, with senior guard Frank Booker sparking discussion as well. The players felt it led to a more spirited weight-lifting and practice session as they prepared for Tuesday’s game with Arkansas.
USC’s Hassani Gravett and Justin Minaya provided all these details to media members Monday before Frank Martin took his turn at the podium in Colonial Life Arena.
