Alabama Poised to Shock Nation: Can They Really Top the Boilermakers?

Alabama Poised to Shock Nation: Can They Really Top the Boilermakers?

Alabama is the eighth-ranked team in the country, and they, too, had a very nice campaign last year. However, they had a similar loss to Purdue, losing Edey two years ago. Mark Sears was a bit of a do-it-all for the Crimson Tide last season and racked up points. He averaged 18 or more points in his final two years at Alabama. This was all while people were gunning for him, knowing he was going to be the primary scorer. Alabama was able to get to the Elite 8 before they were blown out by Duke. Alabama brought in a smattering of four-star recruits, but I’m not overly confident that most will make an immediate impact. Alabama also has the benefit of some continuity. Again, although they’ve only played two games, their top three scorers are all returning players. You can expand that to four of their top five scorers. Knowing the system and being familiar with schemes and plays is a huge difference, especially in early-season play.
