COLUMBIA — Another week, another AP Top 25 in which the South Carolina men’s basketball team received only a handful of votes. Head coach Frank Martin can only shrug his shoulders.

South Carolina, ranked as high as No. 19 earlier this season, received just 12 votes in the new poll released Monday, well behind the 104 accumulated by 25th-place Texas. The Gamecocks (22-5, 9-5 SEC) are tied for second in the SEC with No.
