The Gamecocks finally notched their first SEC win of the season, taking down Vanderbilt 71-60 in Columbia. Guard Wes Myers posted his best game in a South Carolina uniform, putting up 17 points, and Chris Silva had a whale of a performance with a career-high 27 points, just missing a double-double with eight rebounds. It was the kind of bounce-back result South Carolina desperately needed after two deflating losses to start conference play.
Alabama is coming off a 65-46 loss at Georgia, which followed a 76-75 heartbreaker at Vanderbilt.
