After beating ranked opponents Michigan and Syracuse last week, No. 20 South Carolina has stepped down in competition this week.But Gamecocks coach Frank Martin -- and his teams leaders -- want nothing to do with any letdown, as they prepare to host Florida International on Sunday.South Carolina handled Vermont rather easily, 68-50, on Thursday to improve to 7-0.However, Martin wasnt pleased with his teams focus in the first half. He warned his players in post-game press conference to be ready to go in practice and in Sundays game.If they dont, I feel bad for them, Martin said. Not because of me, but Sindarius (Thornwell), Duane (Notice), all of those guys.Someone is going get destroyed in practice, if they come out and dont come in here tomorrow ready to work. Thats the beauty of where were at as a program.When Martin arrived at South Carolina four years ago, player-driven discipline wasnt part of the programs makeup. It was something the intense veteran coach had to instill.Martin believes its ingrained in his program now.That had to be me four years ago (getting on players), Martin told reporters. Thats why I got suspended. I had guys that didnt understand that. That had to be me. Now, it doesnt have to be me. Ive got guys that have been through it. Theyre going to go out and practice and theyre going to demand that things be done a certain way.Whenever they see me getting mad, because they see one or two or three guys who arent doing what theyre asked to do, theyve got to deal with internal peer pressure, and its not from the 50-year-old. Its from the guy that lives in the dorm with them. Weve created that, and our leadership is real good.South Carolina and No. 1 Kentucky are the only two unbeaten teams left in the SEC.Thornwell, a versatile 6-5 senior guard, is a big reason the Gamecocks have been so impressive to start the season. He leads the team with 18.7 points per game, 6.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists, ranks in the top 10 in program history in assists and steals.Florida International, under coach Anthony Evans, comes into Sundays game at 3-5, with four of the Golden Panthers losses coming by six points or fewer.Senior forward Michael Kessens set a school record with 23 rebounds in Florida Internationals 84-81 overtime loss to Elon on Thursday. It was the third overtime loss of the season for the Panthers.Senior guard Donte McGill is FIUs primary scoring threat. Hes averaging 19.1 points per game.Kessens is averaging 14.9 points and 12.1 rebounds. The two seniors are the Panthers catalysts for a program in need of a turnaround.Florida International hasnt experienced a winning season since 2012-13 and is coming off a 13-19 campaign.Evans is in his fourth year at Florida International. He has a close relationship with Martin.Anthony (Evans) and I are friends, Martin told reporters after the Vermont game. Anthony and I have known each other for a while. His video guy is like a little brother to me. His dad played for me in high school. ... Its one of those things, it just made sense. Theyre pretty good.Jarrad Davis Youth Jersey .

T.J. Hockenson Jersey .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Jahlani Tavai Youth Jersey . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players.YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Sebastian Vettel thinks Red Bull will be vulnerable in the opening stages of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and hopes Ferrari can capitalise.Vettel qualified fifth, though there was less than 0.1s covering Daniel Ricciardo and Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen in the two positions ahead. Ferraris drivers split the Red Bulls, who both progressed through Q2 with the super-soft tyre, meaning they will both start on a different compound to the Ferraris.The super-soft tyre should go longer than the ultra-soft but may have less grip off the line, something Vettel thinks Ferrari can use to its advantage to make sure both Red Bulls are behind in the early stages.When asked if Ferrari considered the super-soft tyre tactic in Q2, Vettel replied: We dont feel that is an advantage so it will be interesting to see what happens. It will make them a bit vulnerable in the first lap and maybe we can capitalise on that. For the race I think it should be close, we are usually a bit stronger on SSundays than Saturdays so the target is to aim for podiums tomorrow.ddddddddddddVettel had topped FP3 earlier in the day and thinks Ferrari was too aggressive on its set-up between that session and qualifying, which takes place in the evening as the sun goes down.Speaking about a moment on his final lap when Max Verstappen went off the circuit ahead of him, he said: Yes, he went off and I saw some smoke and then I passed him, well I dont think he was in the way but I lost a little bit of rhythm and the last sector wasnt as tidy as it should have been, otherwise I think we would have gone to P3.The problem was more that in qualifying I was struggling to find the rhythm, I think we were a bit too aggressive and trying to anticipate the conditions tonight so I got caught out a little bit. It was coming towards us at the end but it was a shame qualifying didnt continue. ' ' '
