(6) Clemson vs. (4) Alabama: Betting Tips, Prediction, and Betting Odds

Both teams come into this Elite Eight matchup after beating the two top seeds in their region. Clemson kept their improbable run with an upset win over Arizona, while Alabama won a close battle over top seeded North Carolina. Both teams are looking to advance to the Final Four for the first time in program history.

The Crimson Tide took down UNC on Thursday behind 24 points from senior guard Grant Nelson. It was another big day for their offense as a whole, with four of five starters scoring at least 18 points. Alabama’s offense has stayed hot in the Tournament, averaging 90 ppg in their first three games. It should come as no surprise that Alabama hits a lot of three’s. 27th most per game to be specific. That could be very dangerous for a Clemson defense that is 117th at defending the perimeter. The Tide’s offense will look to keep rolling in their first Elite Eight appearance.

Clemson continues to shock the world. They have been an underdog in every game of the tournament, but here they are, two wins away from playing for a National Championship. PJ Hall played his usual role as leading scorer by putting up 17 points and 8 rebounds on Thursday. Chase Hunter led the backcourt with 18 points and 5 assists. They will both look to duplicate their performances against Alabama’s 346th ranked scoring defense.

Clemson Point Spread

Clemson +3 is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Alabama’s reliance on offense alone will come back to bite them. Their defense relies on forcing turnovers and getting out on the fastbreak. That will be difficult against Clemson who only turns the ball over 10 times per game on average. The Tigers are 55th in the country in effective field goal percentage, so they play a disciplined brand of basketball. Both teams are hot right now, so this should be a very tight contest. Back Clemson as the more disciplined and defensive minded team.

(6) Clemson vs. (4) Alabama Total Points Over 164.5

Over 164.5 Total Points is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.

It is hard to take an under when Alabama is playing. One of the worst defenses and the best scoring offense is a perfect recipe for an over. Clemson may be the β€œmore” defensive team, but they are not exactly defensive stalwarts. They are 129th in the nation in scoring defense. These two teams average a combined 167.9 points per game, 3 points more than the line for this game. Both teams are good on offense and don’t play great defense. Keep it simple here. Take the over.
