A week away from South Carolina’s season opener, the basketball Gamecocks are “banged up.”
USC coach Frank Martin, speaking Tuesday afternoon on 107.5 The Game’s “Game Time,” referenced injuries to newcomers Tre Campbell, T.J. Moss and Alanzo Frink.
“Two of them are ankles, one a knee,” Martin said. “They’ve missed so many repetitions, that’s frustrating because you want guys to get repetitions.”
Campbell is a graduate transfer from Georgetown who started and scored 13 points in Carolina’s exhibition game last Friday, but exited the 77-72 loss to Augusta after tweaking his ankle. The Gamecocks spent the rest of the weekend practicing and then scrimmaging against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia.
