South Carolina has only lost one game all season heading into the matchup with the Crimson Tide , but Alabama has faced a much higher level of competition. Nonetheless, the Crimson Tide needs to start winning some big games to bolster its resume and have a shot at winning the SEC.
Alabama has been inconsistent in finishing games, and it almost cost it this past Saturday vs. Vanderbilt.
"We talk about starts to games, closes to halves, starts to the second half, closes to games," Alabama coach Nate Oats said in Nashville. "I didn't think we did a great job closing either half. We didn't score in almost the last five minutes of the first half. Then the second half, we've got a lead and almost gave it up. We've got to do a better job … close the half, close the game."
Oats will look for that from the Crimson Tide on Tuesday in Tuscaloosa.
