College Basketball Odds: Vanderbilt vs. Alabama prediction, pick (ClutchPoints)

The Alabama Crimson Tide suffered the kind of loss that a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament generally doesn't absorb. Alabama was ranked No. 2 this past ...

The spread is massive, so even though Alabama will be intent on crushing Vanderbilt, the Commodores can probably keep this game close enough to cover. If Alabama — which is orders of magnitude better than Vanderbilt — plays a really good game, it will cover. Consider a live-bet play more than betting on the pregame spread, however. If Alabama does not get fast-break baskets and does not hit 3-pointers, a good team — or even a mediocre team such as Vanderbilt — can focus on packing the paint, making sure the Tide doesn’t increase the pace of play, and shortening the game with fewer overall possessions. This was not a game, by the way, in which it was somewhat close for a good portion of the proceedings, only for Oklahoma to make a late run and create the impression that the game was more lopsided than it actually was. If Alabama plays a great game, it will win by 30. The Alabama Crimson Tide suffered the kind of loss that a No. Alabama is going to want to make a statement as a possible No. It’s pretty simple: If Vanderbilt doesn’t commit live-ball turnovers which feed the Alabama fast break, and if Alabama doesn’t make a reasonable percentage of 3-pointers, Vanderbilt can keep this game very close. Nate Oats loves to have his teams shoot lots of 3-pointers, but when those 3-pointers don’t fall — as was the case against Oklahoma — Alabama becomes very vulnerable because it relies so much on a combination of 3-pointers and easy baskets for its scoring production. Oklahoma consistently led by a very large margin, holding a lead of 20 points or more for the balance of the second half. If they have any pride and dignity, they will play a very good basketball game against Vanderbilt.
