A top-20 women's college basketball matchup is set to take place Thursday night, as No. 2 South Carolina hits the road to take on No. 19 Alabama. 

The Crimson Tide (16-2), following a 40-point loss to No. 7 Texas on Jan. 9, went on the road Sunday and defeated Ole Miss, 84-78. That win gave Alabama its third road and third conference win of the season. 

South Carolina (16-1) has continued to buzz through SEC competition, earning the 67-50 win over the Longhorns Sunday. That win was the Gamecocks' 51st consecutive regular-season SEC win. 

The Gamecocks have never lost to Alabama during head coach Dawn Staley's tenure, winning all 22 meetings since Staley took over in 2008-09.
