Cousinard being out will hurt. We need to get off to a good start.

 

[Garnet chicken]

Looks to be only on ESPN+.

 

[mavcock]

Not a good start.

 

[bashby33]

Man. Always start off in big holes. Down double digits.

 

[bucketdad]

Gosh, wonder how many guys wont foul out.

 

[bucketdad]

Wish that annoying announcer guy would turn his mic volume down a little

 

[Jaybird1010]

Fouls are killing us and Coastal not missing any shots the last eight minutes.

 

[Jaybird1010]

So true. I have it on mute and can still hear his mouth.

 

[Conway Gamecock]

12-2 Gamecock run......

 

[bashby33]

Cocks doing better. Announcers still struggling.

 

[cockymom2boys]

Score?

 

[bashby33]

36-35 coastal at half

 

[mavcock]

Score?

36-35 them.

 

[Conway Gamecock]

Coastal leads 36-35. Gamecocks went on a big run to pull within 1 pt......

 

[Conway Gamecock]

Wilson cannot be the leading shooter for the Gamecocks. He can't buy a make.....

 

[Gamecock122]

score????? Assuming 2 half has started/

 

[Jon Snow]

It’s nothing short of bad basketball and bad effort when the opposing big continues to beat the defense down the court for easy layups.

 

[Garnet chicken]

Getting blasted in the second half. Down 14.

 

[uscclassof74]

52-38 Coastal.

 

[Jaybird1010]

Coastal is getting every loose ball and making every dang shot. This will be a bad lose. We need to quit running stupid plays and go straight to the rim.

 

[SCGCock07]

So now we're a worse program than Coastal in both football and basketball. Got it.

 

[Gamecock122]

Playing Frankie Ball?

 

[Jon Snow]

This offense looks like Frank has never given a thought that someone might show a 1-3-1.

 

[Bud Wiser]

We’re getting run out of the gym by Coastal. The worst part of all this is nobody is surprised. Time to move on from Frank. The Final Four run was great, but it’s clear he has no plan or ability to fix this. What a train wreck this program has been since that Final Four.

 

[Sending an SOS]

This is terrible. Somehow in the process of CFM toning things down, he apparently turned that into not coaching at all

This has to be the beginning of the end for Martin. If it’s not, then our administration is even more incompetent than I thought…

 

[Golden Cock]

Now I’m glad I couldn’t see this game on tv

Nobody will show up for games. And to be honest, they shouldn’t. Time to demand more from this program.

God I hope we don’t play them in baseball

Maybe coastal can get 3 wins to get just above .500.

 

[Jaybird1010]

Embarrassing.

 

[Gamecock122]

Tanner needs to fire him right now…dont wait another day.

 

[budman1976]

we have more turnovers than assist...that's not a formula for sucess

 

[FLCock93]

This is a bad coached team...down 20 with 13 minutes to go and Coastal with 8 PF's and Gamecocks with 16 PF's???
Why are we also such a happy to throw 3's team??? 4-20 as of now! That will never cut it!!!

 

[Golden Cock]

God I hope we don’t play them in baseball

I just checked. We don’t.

 

[Jon Snow]

I just can’t wrap my head around what we’re doing against the 1-3-1. Its a defense with natural pressure at the point and wings. So what is frank trying? The point is running the the top, two wings, and a high screen? This is terrible basic basketball.

 

[Gamecock122]

Frank Martin has never EVER been able to coach a basketball team or recruit players. How did any AD ever think he could.

 

[dreuscock]

I am very confused on Frank's offensive philosophy. What is he trying to do? It has no flow at all.

 

[spardue]

Guys, think about the life lessons this team of young men will learn from this game. Life isn’t easy…it’s a grind and not always easy. We’ve got some beautiful people on the inside and this will only help them as young men.

It's fine to criticize him, want another coach or want a change but in light of his entire coaching career this is incredibly juvenile. It's this type of hyperbole that make the board intolerable at times.

I have a countermeasure: keep sports in perspective. None of this really means anything.
