Defense has been optional for both Alabama and North Carolina this year, making for a matchup with a sky-high total. Grant Nelson is among the players who should boost their season scoring averages tonight.
The total for this game is sitting at a whopping 175, which is why my Alabama vs. North Carolina predictions are betting on plenty of points from Crimson Tide forward Grant Nelson. Here are my best freeBoth schools rank in the Top 6 in adjusted offensive efficiency per KenPom and are in the Top 10 for adjusted tempo. They've also struggled on defense with theAll signs point to a shootout here, but with how sky-high this total is, I'm wary of betting the Over.
This year, the Tar Heels have the same backcourt that they did in March, but they're significantly weaker in the front court after saying goodbye to Armando Bacot and Harrison Ingram. Jae'Lyn Withers and Jalen Washington have been anchoring the middle for UNC but neither is a particularly good post-up defender or rim protector.
Since the Tide will also likely give up plenty of points, UNC point guard Elliot Cadeau should rack up plenty of assists. The sophomore point guard is averaging 5.9 assists per game and should thrive against an Alabama backcourt that doesn't apply much pressure.
