This game is going to be played at a frenetic pace, and I just don't think Charleston has the firepower to keep pace with Alabama. The only way I see the Cougars covering is if they shoot lights out from beyond the arc. I am going to lay the points and expect Alabama to win by double digits here.

I'm not a fan of the Alabama team overall but this is a dream draw for the Tide. Charleston is going to play fast and shoot a ton of threes but here's the problem: Alabama plays the exact same way and has more talent. The Tide have two major weaknesses. They turn the ball over and foul a ton. But Charleston doesn't force turnovers and rarely gets to the foul line. The other thing flying under the radar is this is the first time in a month Alabama will be fully healthy with Latrell Wrightsell back in the lineup. I'm in the minority here and I'm not sure where the line goes but I got a -9, so I hit it. Grab anything under 10.
