The USC Salkehatchie men's basketball program arrived in Brunswick, North Carolina around 1:00 pm this afternoon and by 1:30 they were on the court getting their allotted 45-minute practice in before the next team. The problem, they were expecting to get on the court at 2:00 pm. In a twist of fate because Spartanburg Methodist College was running late, USC Salkehatchie head coach Travis Garrett agreed to go early.
"I didn't think it would matter either way, we had to get a practice in. I would have rather known that we were going at 2:00 pm as planned but because we went early, it didn't hurt a thing. I am excited about getting started, we had a great 45-minute work-out and we are ready as we are going to get," said head coach Travis Garrett.
It is a one a done type tournament, so every game counts and coach Garrett wants to make that clear to his players, " I let them know that we came here for one thing and that is to win. If we leave with anything other than a Region X title, I will be let down as will every player on the team. We have a great group this year and I look for great things this weekend," coach Garrett added.
The Indians will take on Denmark Technical College tomorrow at the new arena with tip-off scheduled for 4:00 pm.
