Bama Basketball Breakdown: South Carolina

With less than fifteen minutes to play in the game, the Alabama Crimson Tide looked up at the scoreboard to see themselves trailing the Tennessee Volunteers 48-33. Staring at a potential 1-6 start in SEC play dead in the eyes, Avery Johnson's group rallied behind Retin Obasohan and Shannon Hale to come from behind and save their postseason chances (of any kind) with a 30-to-9 run to close out the game. It certainly wasn't a pretty win, especially over a team that is going to have to make waves just to get themselves to the NIT, but this is a game that Alabama certainly wouldn't have won in the past few seasons.
