00:00A top 25 tilt second consecutive game for the Tide against the Big Ten foe after losing
00:09in Mackey on Friday night against Purdue.
00:12They bounced back scoring 100 points and winning by 13 against the Illini.
00:19Alabama covers as an eight and a half point favorite.
00:22168 and a half was the total by college basketball standards.
00:26That is a very lofty number and it still goes well over.
00:31Alabama under in every game against non-power conference competition.
00:36But Donnie, against the best of the best in a matchup between two elite eight teams from
00:41a season ago.
00:42We are going to see that Alabama offense start to be on the uptick over against Purdue, over
00:48against Illinois, and a big victory for Alabama still in the top 10.
00:52Yeah, sometimes you don't know what you're going to get to even out of the best teams.
00:56When you're playing in a, let's just say an arena that both of these teams aren't
00:59there on a neutral court.
01:01Both of these teams still made double digit three point shots, which is pretty impressive.
01:04And that the game hit 187 points there in an arena that both of these teams aren't necessarily
01:09familiar with.
01:10You like to see that.
01:11And also, how about the first half?
01:12Sometimes these games start a little bit slower.
01:14Not the case here.
01:1552 points Alabama in the first half that really set the tone for Alabama is one of those teams
01:20you have fun with.
01:21And again, when we talk about betting teams and team totals and three point totals and
01:24props here.
01:25I love teams that get up around 70, 80, 90 and 100 points every single game.
01:29That's what Alabama tries to provide you.
01:31So it was an entertaining game early, but I like the fact that both of these teams were
01:34able to shoot the ball well, 45% there for Illinois, 52% for Alabama on a neutral court.
01:40I like that.
