A collective sigh of relief came from Alabama basketball fans late Wednesday night as the No. 2 Crimson Tide held off the South Carolina Gamecocks 78-76 in overtime.

Alabama (24-4, 14-1 SEC) avoided the disastrous upset with a spectacular performance from freshman sensation Brandon Miller.

Miller dropped 41 points (career high) in 43 minutes of action Wednesday night, scoring more points than the rest of the Alabama team combined.
