What Frank Martin said about Tennessee after getting blown out by No. 1 Vols
The South Carolina Gamecocks had been dominating in SEC play, but they ran into a bulldozer on Tuesday night in the form of No. 1 Tennessee.
The result? A 92-70 win for the Vols on the Gamecocks’ home court. Coach Frank Martin’s team struggled, especially in the second half.
After the game, Martin wasn’t too happy with the way his team performed, calling them out for a lack of effort. Here’s what he said about the loss to No. 1 Tennessee in his postgame press conference:
