Alabama vs. UConn CBB Prediction:
Take the over. UConn is going to be able to do whatever they want offensively, they have shown they can beat teams no matter what type of game they want to play. The only reason I am worried to lay the number with UConn is the Tide’s offense can give any opponent trouble.
Alabama offensive variance worries me to bet against as a double-digit underdog. We know the Tide are going to fire up over 25 three-point attempts on Saturday night. Not many teams have shot the ball well against UConn, but the Tide are definitely capable. This should be a fast paced game with a lot of shots being made, over is the play.
