Alabama hosts South Carolina (3:00 SEC Network)

[pmull]

The Alabama men's basketball team will return home for the second time in the month of February when it begins a two-game homestand against South Carolina on Saturday. The contest, which will be the lone meeting of the regular season between the two teams, will tip off at 3 p.m. CT and will be televised on the SEC Network.

“We’re looking forward to getting a home game,” UA head coach Anthony Grant said. “We’ve had a few road games so it will be good to get home. We’re playing a South Carolina team that I have a lot of respect for. Certainly, their coach (Frank Martin) and I go way back until the time when I was about 14 or 15 years old. We went to high school together, we coached together. He’s a really good guy. I’m aware of the challenge they’ve had of late, but really impressed watching their team play in terms of how hard they play, the way they defend, the intensity they play with. Our guys have to be ready for what’s coming.”

The Crimson Tide (16-8, 8-3 SEC) enter the game in a tie for second overall in the SEC standings, and have won eight of its last 10 games coming into Saturday’s contest. Most recently, the Tide captured a 52-45 victory at Georgia on Tuesday night. Sophomore guard Rodney Cooper was the only UA player to hit double figures, accounting for 14 points to go along with five boards in the win. He has now scored in double digits in four-straight games coming into Saturday’s contest.

I've got my fingers crossed that Bama finally unloads on somebody and beats them handily. I need it mostly for my health, these close games are just too tough on me.

This is a game we should win with ease. USCe is not very good. They are 12-12 overall and 2-9 SEC. A will not help our NCAA resume but a loss will kill us. We have a chance to pick up two home wins this week with the game today and a very bad Miss State team on Wednesday.

Me too. I am wearing the carpet out pacing in front of the TV due to nerves.

I think Bama has a chance to win all their games until they go to Florida, that will be a tough one. It's a bit of a stretch of the imagination but Bama can play much better than they have been playing.

I agree. The road game at LSU will be the most difficult in that stretch.

It has been 24 hrs. since I checked this, so who knows (pmull snope will check me--lol), but I think USCe has only 1 SEC road win and that is at LSU. TIFWIW

9FG is off to a great start with a strong rebound and a slick move under the basket.  He gets the layup and the foul shot for 3 points.  Now he gets a block and causes the guy to travel.

Hmmm... if he finally starts to click we might have something.
