South Carolina held its annual tip-off event on Friday evening ahead of the start of the 2018-19 season next month.

In addition to the on-court activities, the team fielded questions for head coach Frank Martin, as well as seniors Chris Silva and Hassani Gravett.

Silva, who withdrew from the NBA draft this summer, returns as the reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year.

Meanwhile, Gravett’s backcourt experience will be crucial for a squad that adds several newcomers to the roster.

The Gamecocks finished 17-16 overall last season.
