Purdue vs. Alabama CBB Prediction:
Both teams are coming off wins as they matchup in Toronto.
This is a high total, but for good reason, back the over. Alabama is averaging 94 ppg, while Purdue is sitting at 85 ppg. Alabama is going to take and hopefully make a lot of threes, which is their best chance of beating the Boilermakers with Zach Edey defending underneath. Purdue offensively is going to be to much for the Tide, there not going to have an answer for Edey and if they start to bring the double team, the outside shooting will then be the problem for the Tide.
