South Carolina’s Silva Not Forgetting Jersey Roots While at the Final Four

By DENNIS CHAMBERS

GLENDALE, Ariz. — From Greenville, S.C. to New York City to Glendale, Chris Silva has logged a lot of miles over the last few weeks. Hopping from city to city as South Carolina advances throughout the NCAA Tournament has been quite the experience for the sophomore big man.

But don’t think Silva has forgotten about his ties back to Roselle, N.J., and don’t think they’ve forgotten about him, either.

“It’s been crazy,” Silva said about the Roselle Catholic support. “Everyone calling me, texting me and telling me from home that they’re proud of me. So, it’s been awesome.”
