USC’s Martin: “It’s Like A Team Full Of Freshman”

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — Frank Martin made his unofficial debut last night in USC’s lone exhibition game. The Gamecocks defeated Kentucky Wesleyan by a meager one point, 68-67, at Colonial Life Arena Tuesday. Four of Martin’s Gamecocks, including transfer Lashay Page, were benched with lingering injuries. Following the exhibition game, Martin said he feels like he is coaching a bunch of underclassmen. “We haven’t been on that road, with anyone on this team, with those guys with me, or me with them.” Martin also says he is trying to learn from the team, and the Gamecocks are still learning Martin’s style, too. USC’s season opener is set for November 11 against Milwaukee.
