COLUMBIA, S.C. – Preseason practice for the 2018-19 season of South Carolina men’s basketball began on Tuesday, Sept. 25, as seventh-year head coach Frank Martin led his squad through a two-and-a-half hour session during the afternoon at the Carolina Coliseum practice facility.  The Gamecocks are working towards their Oct. 26 free exhibition contest against Augusta University, before officially opening the campaign on Nov. 6 against USC Upstate.
