Alabama vs Clemson analysis

It was a long time ago, but earlier this season, in November, Clemson beat Alabama 85-77. The Crimson Tide is one of the best offenses in the league, averaging 90.7 points per game, while Clemson is at 77.2. Both of these teams played against superior seeds, and both had poor shooting nights, especially in Arizona. 

Clemson is the No. 19 overall team while Alabama is No. 14, per KenPom. KenPom also points out the Alabama scores 125.6 points per 100 possessions while Clemson is at 117.6 points per 100 possessions. 

Defensively, Alabama is still one of the worst, allowing 81.1 points per game, which is 348th in the nation out of 362. Alabama opponents shoot 43.4% from the floor (135th) and 31.5% from three-point range (46th). 

Clemson allows 70.7 points per game, and opponents shoot 41.2% from the floor (29th) and 32.6% from three-point range (101st). 

Alabama vs Clemson pick

It’s hard to pick a winner here, so ultimately, we’re going to side with taking the over on the point total. This is going to be a close game. Alabama scores a ton, but their defense is poor. Meanwhile, Clemson has a solid offense, but it is not exactly on par with Alabama; their defense is OK; it is not a unit you’ll fear to lock Alabama down. 

Against competent offenses, the deal with Alabama is projecting if they’ll outlast a team. Clemson has legitimate scorers in Hall, Ian “The Chef” Shieffelin, and Hunter, but Alabama has a stout offense. 

Again, take the over here and avoid the point spread.
