Although he has made numerous public appearances in the roughly three months he has served as interim chief, this was just Slim Smith the second time I had heard him speak. The first occasion was on Nov. 2, shortly after Shelton became interim chief, when his was the calming voice in an emotion- ally-charged meeting at Hunt School two weeks after the officer-involved shooting death of Ricky Ball.

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Michael Carrera sees a major difference this season at South Carolina. South Carolina men’s basketball coach Frank Martin sees it, too. For Martin, the difference is Carrera’s play. Carrera scored a career-high 34 points and tied a career best with 15 rebounds Tuesday So. Carolina 84, night to lead South Mississippi St. 74 Carolina to an 84-74 victory against Mississippi State. The victory helped South Carolina (18-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) give Martin his most wins in four seasons as head coach at the school. It also highlighted how Carrera has blossomed into a prime-time player after three seasons of spotty, injury filled times. “I’m ecstatic for Mike because he’s worked so hard,” Martin said. “I’m ecstatic for his ability to lead and his willingness to do what good players do.” Carrera helped the Gamecocks build a 14-point lead in the second half and, after the Bulldogs (8-11, 1-6) cut things to 55-53, get South Carolina to re-establish control.
