Alabama basketball is on the road again.
The Crimson Tide starts its trip in South Carolina for a reunion with UA former Nick Pringle, who joined the Gamecocks after hitting the transfer portal in the spring.
With a win against Pringle and top scorer Collin Murray-Boyles, UA (12-2) will have taken 10 straight contests in the series. Alabama hasn’t seen a loss to USC (10-4) since 2016, back when Sindarius Thornwell was still roaming Colonial Life Arena before forging a historic Final Four appearance for the program the following year.
Here’s how to watch UA in the second matchup of its SEC slate.
