Junior forward Marsi McAlister said the team met with him prior to the Francis Marion College game Feb. 20, in which the Lady Patriots upset USC 73-72. "Before Francis Marion, he asked if (the team) wanted him back or not, and a majority of the players did not want him back," she said. Frost said, "He left the door wide open when he told us he'd resign if we lost respect for him. "No one was there to lead us or motivate us toward the end of the season. He lacked team motivation." l AFTER OPENING the season ranTed 20th by The Associated Press' preseason poll, USC finished 18-12 for fourth place in the Metro. Frost said the winning record was because of the team's talent, not Kelly's coaching aoimy. "It was so frustrating this season because we had so much talent," she said.
