Oh, how things can change. As Alabama (14-9, 7-4 SEC) traveled to Columbia, South Carolina on Tuesday, most figured they would be returning home with a third straight loss and all momentum from the first half of conference play completely gone. Instead, Avery Johnson once again succeeded where his predecessors had failed, stunning the 19th-ranked Gamecocks and securing Alabama’s first road victory over a ranked opponent since 2004 (yes, it’s been a long time coming). The mental toughness and grit that this young Alabama team displayed that night was a sight to behold, as the Tide overcame a large blown lead in regulation and a significant 2OT deficit to outlast the Gamecocks in 4OT.
