COLUMBIA, S.C. — As South Carolina head basketball coach Frank Martin sees it, his team is in a decent position as the season heads towards the final three weeks of the regular season.
Carolina is at Ole Miss for a 7:00 p.m. tipoff tonight and with that comes another opportunity to enhance their position in the SEC standings. The Gamecocks are 5-7 in the SEC and a part of a six-team group who have won either five or six league games. Translation – a fifth-place finish in the conference is very much in the cards.
“We’re in a good spot,” said Martin.
“We’re not in a great spot. We’re in a good spot. We’re not in a bad spot. Some teams are in a bad spot. Some teams are climbing a very steep hill late in the year.”
The Gamecocks are taking on an Ole Miss team tonight which has won just three SEC games and is two games above last-place Georgia in the standings.
