And then foul allowing Bama to go back up by 3 with 2 seconds left?

Was the plan to do something on the Bama in bound besides foul?

It was a set up and fortunately South Carolina is bad and fell for it.

Very dumb strategy. Even if bama misses the free throws you're almost never going to get a quality shot off with that little time.

Ok, this makes more sense than that actually being South Carolina's plan.

We needed this on the road to get some momentum going again. It's a shame this team can't enjoy more than 15 minutes of good health before someone else starts limping around.

Anyway, any SEC win on the road is a goody.

It was a great play call by Oats.

At this rate we won't have a team left by tournament time.

It's pretty obvious Frank needs to be fired. Making one tournament in 9 years is God awful, even if we made the final 4

Yeah, I hate it when I tell someone Frank needs to go and all they can say is, "You can't get rid of a guy who got SC to the Final Four. That's ridiculous."

Hell, we may still have him for twenty more years with no NCAAT appearances and people will still be making that tired argument.

He wasn't supposed to.

With South Carolina trailing 79-76, coach Frank Martin said he drew up a play with three options for a tying 3-pointer. Instead, Jermaine Couisnard connected with Justin Minaya for an uncontested layup.

The Gamecocks were forced to foul Rojas, who made his free throws.

''Instead of running what we asked to run, we just kind of ... no mental connection with the situation,'' Martin said.

On the flip side, I'm not sure why Rojas made the second free throw with only two seconds left, when purposefully missing it should've killed the clock, or at least forced a full-court heave.

Hasn't your team been decimated with injuries this season?

We've had players out and games canceled due to covid issues (especially early in the season). But I've been saying Frank needs to go well before this season even started.

they have always played hard and are known for great defense. When the talent has been there so has the results. Unlike Will Muschamp.

SC fans should know better than anyone with this last football hire, you better know who is waiting in the wings that is an upgrade from Frank.
