Alabama’s SEC opening against an undefeated Oklahoma club that hasn’t faced many challenging opponents yet features home court advantage and the nation’s most potent attack. Given their five consecutive victories overall and three consecutive victories against ranked opponents, the Crimson Tide are favored by 11.5 points to unseat the Sooners.
Oklahoma claims two victories over ranked teams, Arizona (82-77) and Michigan (87-86), both of whom have since dropped out of the national rankings. Freshman guard Jeremiah Fears is scoring a team-high 18.1 points per game on 50.3% shooting, which is a great start.
