Riley leads Tide With Big 3's in 2nd Half, Hendrix Nets Double-Double
TUSCALOOSA, AL| Just when you thought the win at LSU was going to get the Tide rolling, Alabama came out flat again against South Carolina. There is no way to say it other than they did not look like a great team most of the day. South Carolina lead most of the first half, by 6 at halftime, and a good portion of the second half.
Luckily for Alabama, junior Mykal Riley and his 3 point shooting barrage combined with outscoring South Carolina 38-29 in the 2nd half brought the Tide a 64-61 win over the visiting Gamecocks Saturday in Tuscaloosa .
Riley had 15 points, most coming on a second half run where he scored 11 straight points for the Tide. Sophomore Richard Hendrix had a double-double had 14 points and 15 rebounds, and sophomore Alonzo Gee was also over double digits with 12.
The win moves the Tide to 17-5, 4-4 in the league, and into sole position of first place in the SEC Western Division. South Carolina falls to 12-9, 2-6. The Gamecocks were led by Bryce Sheldon's 17 points and senior guard Tre Kelley chipped in 14 for Dave Odom's bunch.
The Tide stays at home Wednesday night for a SEC West showdown against the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Coleman Coliseum. Tip off is at 8 pm CT.
