No. 6 Alabama @ Memphis Preview

A pair of preseason dark-horse NCAAM title contenders, Alabama and Memphis, are set to clash tonight at FedExForum. While the hype is still there, these two teams are trending in completely opposite directions heading into the matchup 👀

• Since losing to Rick Pitino and the Iona Gaels on November 15th, the Crimson Tide have rattled off four straight wins — the last two against a pair of 2021 Final Four teams (#5 Gonzaga and #14 Houston)

• Over that same timespan, Memphis is 0-4, with their most recent defeat coming at the hands of Murray State. They’ve dropped from #9 in the nation to unranked

Momentum may be on Bama’s side, but oddsmakers are still expecting a battle. Take a look at how the lines are shaping up 👇

Alabama @ Memphis Betting Preview

• Spread: No. 6 Alabama (-3.5) @ Memphis

• Moneyline: Alabama -175 (bet $175, win $100), Memphis +140 (bet $100, win $140)

• Over/Under: 155

Good Times In Tuscaloosa

Who says Alabama is just a football school? Bryce Young may have brought home the Heisman Trophy Saturday night (Bama’s second-straight winner), but Nate Oats’ crew is proving that the Crimson Tide have some headliners on the hardwood as well

• Alabama has surged up to +2000 to win the national championship, tied for eighth-best odds in the nation, after beginning the year at +4500 

• Their statement win over current title favorite Gonzaga (+500) on December 4th got everyone’s attention, but don’t discount their gutsy win over Houston on Saturday

• That win did come with a bit of controversy — what do you think, goaltending or good no call?

Experience in tightly-contested games makes all the difference when March rolls around, especially when that experience comes against teams that are as good defensively as Houston

• The Cougars had held eight straight opponents to 65 points or less before giving up 83 points to the Tide

• Bama is averaging 86 PPG for the season, best in the SEC and seventh in the nation

The field looks as wide-open as ever this year — there’s been a new top-ranked team in each of the past four weeks. Alabama can score with the best of them, and have already proven themselves head-to-head against some of the nation’s elite. If you’re looking for a good value pick to throw your weight behind, the Tide may be the team for you 🤑

Panic Time In Memphis?

Panic may be a strong word, but there’s always cause for concern with four straight losses, especially when you fancy yourself a championship contender 🤢

• Memphis has seen their title odds plummet from +1800 down to +4000 since their losing streak began

• Their last three losses have come by a combined 9 points

Head coach Penny Hardaway has a plethora of young talent at his disposal, but as is often the case with youth, inconsistency is rearing its ugly head

• Long considered a future top-five NBA Draft pick, star freshman Emoni Bates has been ice-cold over the past three games, shooting just 32% from the field and 11% from deep

• Fellow star freshman Jalen Duren was averaging 15 PPG and 10.8 RPG through the team’s first four games, but has been held to just two points twice over the last four

Whether they’re ready or not, the struggling duo will have a great opportunity to get the Tigers’ season back on track this week. After tonight’s matchup against Bama, Memphis once again clashes with the elite SEC when they face #19 Tennessee on Saturday 🍿

For My Parlay Gurus

Memphis is too talented to be playing as poorly as they have been lately, and I fully expect to see them to turn this season around. I just don’t think that happens tonight. I’m all in on Bama as a legit title contender this year, and I expect them to keep up their high-scoring ways in Memphis👇

• No. 6 Alabama -3.5 @ Memphis: -110

• Over 155 total points: -110
