Today Syracuse (4-0) faces off against South Carolina (5-0) in a battle of undefeateds at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn. Our friends over at Garnet and Black Attack were kind enough to answer some of our preview questions. Let’s dive in, shall we?
TNIAAM: I personally think Frank Martin is one of college basketball's underrated coaches. How is he viewed among the fan base?
Sydney Hunte: Frank needed a big year last season after three straight sub.-500 seasons in conference play to start his tenure at South Carolina. Even with that, I think that the fan base was willing to give him a little more rope after the damage done to the program by Darrin Horn, and It certainly paid off last year as they won 25 games and found themselves in the NIT for their first postseason appearance since 2006.
