South Carolina women’s basketball looks to break what, by coach Dawn Staley’s standards, has been a rough stretch of performances when it faces Alabama on Thursday (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network) at Colonial Life Arena.
The No. 1 Gamecocks (25-0, 12-0 SEC) have fought back from halftime deficits in their last two games to remain undefeated. Despite the struggles, South Carolina has a chance to cross off some major accomplishments against the Crimson Tide (20-7, 7-5).
A win Thursday would clinch a share of the SEC championship and the No. 1 seed in the SEC Tournament with three games to go in the regular season. It would also give Staley the 600th victory of her career.
