Memphis @ Alabama 9:00 PM ET
Game# 617-618
Play On: Alabama -6.5 (5*)

Alabama is coming off a scintillating come from behind upset win at then #1 Houston in their previous game. It was right around this time a season ago when they knocked off a higher ranked Houston team at home and then followed that up with a 14-point upset loss at Memphis. They’re not about to fall in that same trap again. This isn’t a great shooting Alabama team but they’re relentless on the offensive glass while averaging 14 second chance possessions per game which ranks 4th in the country. According to KenPom, Memphis ranks 289th out of 363 Division 1 teams when it comes to defensive rebounding. They also are averaging 25 free throw attempts per contest. Additionally, the Crimson Tide rank 20th in adjusted offensive efficiency and #12 in adjusted defensive efficiency. Alabama has faced the 2nd toughest schedule in the country thus far, so they’re certainly battle tested.

Give me Alabama minus the points.
