PREGAME

— Nate Oats on his Crimson Tide Sports Network pregame interview about Brandon Miller against South Carolina: “He came ready to play, that was for sure. He showed everybody what he’s capable of, that he’s mentally tough, super talented. He kind of put the team on his back. We had a lot of guys not play to their best standards, didn’t shoot the ball particularly well. Hopefully everybody can bounce back, play better. But Brandon came ready to play. That was impressive.”

— Brandon Miller emerged from the locker room for final pregame warmups about 30 minutes before tip off. The crowd, which is wearing white today as part of a “white out,” did not offer much of a reaction.
