South Carolina has won a record 51 straight regular season SEC games and will look to extend that to 52 as they take on top 25 in conference foe Alabama on the road. Alabama is riding a 14 game winning streak coming in against the Gamecocks and haven't lost in Coleman Colosseium in over a year.

South Carolina out-rebounded Vanderbilt by 12, the third-largest margin of the season. That has been USC’s biggest struggle this year, ranking 11th in the SEC in rebounding margin. USC was out-rebounded in the first two SEC games, before edging Auburn in that area.

Vanderbilt's Devin McGlockton made two critical plays in the final seconds to help the host Commodores squeak past South Carolina 66-63 on Wednesday in Nashville, Tenn.
