It's refreshing to see he's not satisfied with just a win.

Good win. I didn't hear much but what i did hear was hustle.

[eaglegolf018]

87 points? What in the world? How did we do that? When was the last time that happened?

Exactly. We need our coach to demand quality performances if we want to squeeze everything we can out of this roster.

I heard it - Frank demands excellence.

[Luke Skycocker]

We actually shot well tonight.

There were a LOT of turnovers and easy points for Morgan State, plenty of reasons for Coach Martin to be mad for tonight's performance.

A few positives that can be taken from this game is that all of the season's 3-pointers were shot tonight, and this team can make a free throw. Such a sigh of relief to see this.

Well to be honest, they played some sloppy ball tonight. And I mean SLOPPY! Can definetley cut back on the turnovers and stupid shot taking and the fouls. I'd be pissed if I was the coach too. But good win anyway

Agreed. Frank has a lot to get in their face about. All the drives they gave up to the basket as well. If we had forced them to take jumps shots on half those possessions, we'd have won by 30+.

On the good side, we shot the ball damn well tonight. We shoot like that, and clean up the TO's, this team will score some points. Pretty much everyone on the team is a decent FT shooter. With his attack the rim philosophy, I could easily see us getting 20 points from the line alone per game.

I'm still positive on this team. They definitely have the fight in them.

[Truly Cocky]

The full postgame press conference is on gamecocksonline right now. Just go to the top videos tab and it's the first one.

Angry Frank Martin is in full effect in the video.

[eaglegolf018]

Frank doesn't care that we scored 87 points. He saw the 71 points and 52% shooting from Morgan State and he's pissed. I love it that we can win a game by 16 and our coach be furious.

[ReCOCKulous]

I. Love. Frank. Martin. He demands excellence. Something we've been lacking in this program for quite some time.

[eaglegolf018]

Frank was saying "Its not like we are playing freshman... We have a few 3 year guys. Lakeem Jackson has been here 4 years."

Not trying to bash the man but what does that say about how terrible Darrin Horn was at developing players.

[Truly Cocky]

FEAR THE STARE

[SECgamecock453]

It's really exciting the direction this program is headed. Just wish we could get huge crowds for games.. I don't think we ever will unless we're consistently a NCAA Tournament team.

Coach Martin Press Conference Link

[Seladen]

You know I thought we had bad crowds and empty arena at first, but I watched alot fo BBall this week and noone really had sell outs going on. Texas had even less than we did the other day and they are a NCAA tourney program.

[HeadCockFan]

I was really impressed with the shooting. Amazing team effort there. What sucked was the complete snoozes on defense and ball handlers just dozing off and giving them the ball easily. I was impressed with Kacinas. Morgan State really sucked. I was surprised at how dumb their coach was.

What's it say? Nothing we didn't already know.
