OVERVIEW
The 2nd ranked Alabama Crimson Tide showed a ton of heart in defeating South Carolina 78-76 in an overtime thriller on Wednesday night in Columbia, SC. The Tide improved to 24-4 overall and 14-1 in the SEC while the Gamecocks fell to 10-18 and 3-12 in league play.
After the news cycle that the team — and, in particular, Brandon Miller — had to put up with over the last 36 hours, it is incredible they could focus enough to pull out a tough victory. Miller put the team on his back and scored a career-high 41 points, including the basket to put the game into overtime, and the game winner with under one second left.
