Collyn Taylor: Gamecocks a team 'nobody' wants to play

Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, coaches can misspeak in their postgame press conference.

After a four-point win against South Carolina in Starkville two weeks ago, Mississippi State Head Coach Ben Howland said playing Frank Martin’s team was like getting a root canal. Tuesday, after losing to the Gamecocks in Columbia, Howland took some time to change his answer.

“That really doesn’t do it justice. Playing his team is like getting a dental implant,” he said. “They’re drilling right into your skull while you’re awake. That’s about what it’s like playing against his teams.”

Howland’s team caught the sharp end of a dental tool against the Gamecocks, dropping the game at Colonial Life Arena 83-71.
