Alabama Analysis: Mark Sears is leading this team
Alabama (12-4 SEC record) is still in the running for the conference title, but they are now 1 game behind the Volunteers after their loss to Tennessee this past weekend. In their last 3 games, they have suffered 2 losses. Their strength lies in an offensive that can compete with the finest in the nation. Alabama leads the country in scoring per game with 90.9. They shoot 79.0% at the free throw line, 37.5% from beyond the arc, and 48.0% from the floor. With 51.0% shooting, Mark Sears is scoring 20.7 points per game. Their current state would be considerably better if it weren’t for their defense. Without the benefit of a quick pace, Alabama gives up an SEC-worst 79.3 points per game.
Florida Analysis: They’ve won 3 of their past 5 games
Florida has suffered a defeat at the hands of the South Carolina Gamecocks in their most recent matchup. Florida lost by 6 points despite scoring 76 points, but their defense allowed 82 points to be scored. They defeated Missouri 83-74 2 games ago, and they need their offensive output to return. The defense allows 77.2 points per game, while the offense averages 84.4 points. Walter Clayton Jr. is shooting 44.1% from the field and 36.5% from beyond the three-point line, averaging 16.9 points per game. Florida’s offense is crucial, just as Alabama’s. Their figures rise to 87.1 and 48.8%, respectively, at home. The Gators pull down 15.6 offensive rebounds per game, make 33.9% of their three-pointers, and convert 69.4% of their free throws.
