South Carolina vs. Alabama Women: How to watch, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats
Rusty Gorelick
The SEC has seven teams ranked in the Women's College Basketball top 25, and two of those teams meet when the No. 2 South Carolina Gamecocks (16-1, 4-0 SEC) visit the No. 19 Alabama Crimson Tide (16-2, 3-1 SEC) on Thursday night.
Head coach Dawn Staley's Gamecocks are National Championship hopefuls, and their only loss of the season was back in late November on the road against then-No. 1 UCLA. The team lost standout forward Ashlyn Watkins to a torn ACL, but this is a deep team that shares the ball effectively.
Alabama has been rolling to start the season but has not been ranked higher than 18th because they're 1-1 against ranked opponents. They recently got blown out 84-40 by then-No. 5 Texas, but in late December, the Crimson Tide beat then-No. 15 Michigan State by 15.
