Coleman Coliseum has not been kind to Frank Martin’s South Carolina basketball team.
The Gamecocks haven’t won a game in Tuscaloosa, Ala., since 2009 and are winless in the building in the Martin era. On Saturday night, the Gamecocks lost their seventh consecutive road matchup to the No. 24 Crimson Tide (19-10, 9-7 SEC) as a second-half comeback attempt fell short in a 90-71 loss.
The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Gamecocks (17-11, 8-8), but more importantly it represented a missed opportunity to bolster the team’s postseason resume with just two more games remaining in the regular season.
