Alabama Crimson Tide Analysis

Alabama Crimson Tide is off to a good start with senior guard Mark Sears, who was named Second Team Preseason All-SEC and averaging 12.5 PPG last season, leading the way. The reload for Coach Oats is centered around transfer Grant Nelson from North Dakota State, who was named to the conference's first team, and Aaron Estrada from Hofstra. Freshman Jarin Stevenson and other newcomers add to the mix, as seen with Nelson (24 pts., 7 rebounds) and Estrada (16 points). Alabama currently sits #10 in KenPom, and offense ranked #7 and defense at #122 with an overall record of 1-0 (1-0 ATS).

Alabama Expected to Win Big Over Indiana State with Grant Nelson's Impressive Performance

Alabama has reloaded their roster and is expected to be competitive in the SEC this year. Grant Nelson, a preseason first team all conference selection, began the season with an impressive 8-8 from the line showing he can play above the rim. Indiana State is likely to be without their big man, Robbie Avila, due to an injury. This gives Alabama an even larger advantage with their athletic 6'11, 230 Nelson. The Crimson Tide's perimeter defenders are expected to be more successful than Indiana State's guards Swope and Conwell, leading to a big victory for Alabama.
