We have an exciting Alabama Crimson Tide game schedule on tap for Tuesday night as they will be at traveling to South Alabama and taking on the South Alabama Jaguars.
The Crimson Tide come into this one as the #18th-ranked team in the entire country after two impressive wins in their first two games of the season.
South Alabama is going to be coming into this one at 1-1 on the year and has shown the ability to be an above-average college basketball team.
NCAAB Teams
Both of these NCAA basketball teams have enough to get the job done on Tuesday night, so we have to dive deep and find out who we should be taking.
Continue reading below for our best Alabama vs South Alabama betting analysis and see who we’re going to be backing in this exciting Alabama rivalry.
Last Game Records
Alabama’s Last Game Record
Alabama is going to be coming into this game after an impressive win against the Liberty Flames as they won by nearly 40 points.
This was likely the easiest game on their NCAAB schedule of the season thus far, so it’s good that they were able to take care of business.
South Alabama’s Last Game Record
South Alabama is going to be at coming into this game after a loss against New Mexico where they had an opportunity to win the game but ended up giving the lead away in the fourth quarter.
They lost this game 80-74, but they should feel somewhat confident about what they were able to do in this one.
Alabama Crimson Tide vs. South Alabama Jaguars Betting Analysis
Alabama Crimson Tide
The Alabama Crimson Tide are an interesting college basketball team, and the college basketball standings currently give them a good chance of performing well this season as the #18 ranked team in America.
Because of that, we certainly have to give this team some respect. They showed us throughout the past three seasons that they can beat anybody on any given night, and although they did have a disappointing season a year ago, they finished in first place in the SEC two years ago and won 26 games, while only losing two in the conference.
Expectations for Crimson Tide
It’s expected that they’re going to be able to find some success throughout the season and guys like Brandon Miller are going to be a major reason why.
Miller comes into this game after a 20-point performance in just the second game of his college career.
The former number 14 ranked player in the 2022 High School class, and five-star recruit is expected to be a major contributor to the Crimson Tide.
He’s one of the best college basketball players in America, and Alabama will hope that he can continue dominating just as he did in his second game.
South Alabama Jaguars
South Alabama comes into this game after a tough loss, but they realize that they have an opportunity to turn that around as they take on their cross-state rival.
This is likely to be one of the best NCAA basketball games today, as both of these teams have a real opportunity of winning this game.
Expectations for Isaiah Moore
Although South Alabama doesn’t have the same type of talent that Alabama does, guard Isaiah Moore is expected to be a big piece to this South Alabama Jaguars basketball team, and it would make sense if he finds a way to get something done here.
He’s going to have to have a monster game if South Alabama is going to win this game. Because of what he was able to do in the second game of the season, Alabama will likely it be focused on him, and it’s not going to be easy for him to get going.
NCAAB Injury Report
In terms of new injuries, the college basketball injury report is currently clean for both teams. This is ideal at the beginning of the season, as no matter what time of year, we always hate to see players get injured.
However, getting injured at the beginning of the season is even worse because that means that they’re likely going to have to miss an extended period of time and in some rare cases, even have to miss the whole season.
Alabama vs. South Alabama Betting Preview
The NCAAB odds coming into this game are going to see Alabama as a 12.5-point favorite. I do think that this line is a little low, considering that Alabama can come out and should be able to take care of business against this squad.
A season ago, as a 12.5-point favorite or more, however, Alabama only had two wins against the spread. The money line is going to be slotted at – 550 for Alabama and +450 for South Alabama.
The over/under is currently slotted at 148. It’s important to remember for our Alabama vs South Alabama betting analysis as we want to have the best possible stats for this game.
Alabama Crimson Tide vs. South Alabama Jaguars Betting Prediction
We are finally here with our Alabama vs South Alabama betting analysis, and the best bet in this game is going to be taking South Alabama +12.5.
Although I do think that this line is a tad low, and I was hopeful that we could get about 15 points, I do think this is a good spot for South Alabama to cover.
Alabama hasn’t typically blown teams out in the past few years, and although they were able to in the first few games of the season, this South Alabama team is better than both teams that they’ve played thus far.
Who to Bet On?
The NCAAB schedule for both of these teams is completely different, and this is probably the toughest game South Alabama is going to have to play all year, so they should get ready to go and be excited about this contest.
If they can come out and continue doing what they’ve been able to do throughout the past few years, I like the fact that they can win this game on the spread.
I would be shocked if they won the game outright, but we don’t need them to do that on Tuesday night.
NCAAB Pick: South Alabama +12.5
