Alabama vs Purdue Prediction 

Alabama comes into this contest after a nice win over St. John’s in their last game and they have scored 91 and 103 points in their first two games. The Crimson Tide are shooting over 50% from the field this year, which helps make up for their lack of defense. Purdue struggled to get by Oakland in their last game and I think they could have problems with Alabama’s pace of play here. I think Alabama’s athleticism is going to be a huge advantage in this game and I like them to cover.
