Game Preview and Analysis

The Gamecocks showed life the other night in their home SEC win over the Vanderbilt Commodores. F Chris Silva continues to dominate and seems to be coming into his own as the player most Gamecock fans imagined he could be after last season. South Carolina will look to get revenge after falling twice to the Crimson Tide last season, including a four overtime thriller in Columbia, SC.

This is a big one for the Gamecocks and one they really need to have. South Carolina is 10- this season when they hit the 70 point mark and will have to do so again tonight to beat Alabama. While I expect Chris Silva to have a big impact tonight, I still struggle to believe in South Carolina’s guard play until someone steps up and proves me wrong. Look for Collin Sexton to carry Alabama and pick up a big home win.

Prediction: Alabama 71, South Carolina 66
