South Carolina does not have many top wins but in their last two games, they have beaten LSU and Mississippi State. Two of their SEC wins are road wins over Texas A&M and Georgia.

Alabama vs. South Carolina Prediction

Hopefully, playing at home, the Crimson Tide will not open the game with a turnover eruption as it did in Nashville. The Crimson Tide has not made threes at better than 33.3% in Coleman this season. In its last three home games, from outside the arc, Alabama has shot 10%, 24.1% and 20%. When it has won, it has been from strong two-point shooting, excellent foul shooting and rebounding. Unfortunately, it is No. 13 in the SEC in opponent free throw attempts. The good news for Saturday is South Carolina is the worst free-throw shooting team in the SEC.

A disciplined Crimson Tide might cover the spread but the game pick is …
