Davidson Wildcats at Alabama Crimson Tide Betting Preview

— Tuesday, December 21st Davidson Wildcats @ Alabama Crimson Tide

It has been a crazy few weeks in the sport of college basketball, and there have been a number of canceled games. The Alabama Crimson Tide will host the Davidson Wildcats on Tuesday night in a game that was just put together.

Davidson comes into this game with a record of 8-2, but the Wildcats have not had to place a team as strong as Alabama this season. This is a great opportunity for Davidson to pick up a huge upset win, but there wasn’t much time to prepare.

Alabama is 9-2 on the season, and the Crimson Tide are currently 10th in the latest college basketball poll. The Crimson Tide were just recently upset by Memphis, but it’s been a great start for Alabama.

The Alabama Crimson Tide are 10.5-point betting favorites over the Davidson Wildcats on Tuesday night.

Wildcats Want to Play Slow

Davidson comes into this game scoring 75 points per game, but they get their points by shooting it well and sharing the basketball. The Wildcats are shooting nearly 50 percent from the field, and they aren’t going to take many bad shots when they have the ball.

Hyunjung Lee leads the team with 18.1 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, and he is going to be a big key in this game. Davidson doesn’t have as much depth as Alabama, but there are still some talented and skilled players on this roster.

Davidson is holding opponents to just 63.5 points per game, but keeping Alabama under 75 would be a huge victory on defense.

Tide Loaded With Talent

The Alabama Crimson Tide have one of the deepest rosters in college basketball, and they just keep bringing in new players off of the bench. Alabama is scoring over 83 points per game, and they get that done in a variety of ways.

Jaden Shackelford is leading the team with 16.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, and he should have a big game in this one. JD Davison sets the tone for Alabama on offense as he has a team-high 4.5 assists per game.

Alabama is going to give up some points, but the Crimson Tide are going to try to win this game with offense.

Crimson Tide Roll to Blowout Win

This is a great opportunity for Davidson to play against a great opponent, but this is not a matchup that will go well for the Wildcats. Davidson just doesn’t have the weapons or athletes to keep up with Alabama, and this game is going to get out of hand in the second half.

The Crimson Tide just don’t ever slow down, and they are trying to get back on track after a recent loss to Memphis. All of these factors spell trouble for Davidson, and the Wildcats would have to play a near-perfect game to even keep it close.

Alabama will break this game wide open in the second half, and betting on the Crimson Tide -10.5 is the right play for this game.
