Game Betting Analysis
This game will come down to whether Seton Hall’s notorious grind under coach Holloway will see the sun in this one, which would indicate both the Under and the Seton Hall spread hitting. Alabama has even betting stats across the board, with a few slightly favoring the ATS fail and Under as well – but the main data to focus on comes from Seton Hall here. The Pirates have gone Under in all three games played this season, failing to go over 68 points while holding schools to 62 points or less. Seton Hall has a 2-5 O/U mark as a road underdog, a 4-7 O/U mark as the road team and 13-20 over its last 33 games. The nail? Seton Hall has seen 156 total points or less in 20 straight games when facing an AP ranked school at night. However, the Pirates have a 5-2 O/U mark against AP ranked schools – our setback. In the ATS market, Seton Hall has covered nine of 12 games as the underdog along with nine of 10 road games and six of seven road games as an underdog. The Pirates are also 7-4 ATS in non-conference games, so either market suffices for us if Seton Hall can play its brand of basketball in a hostile road environment.
Seton Hall-Alabama Odds (Spread, Moneyline, Over/Under)
Deciding Factor: Alabama’s Healthy, Explosive Offense vs. Seton Hall’s Shooting-Starved Rebuild
No. 20 Alabama rolls into Coleman Coliseum 3-0 and, somehow, just getting started. The Crimson Tide have blown through Sam Houston (96-74), Arkansas State (101-86) and Oakland (109-68) despite playing the first two of those games without Aden Holloway, their leading returning scorer, who sat out a two-game suspension tied to a marijuana possession arrest from last March that was ultimately dismissed after he completed a pretrial diversion program. Holloway, who averaged 16.8 points, 3.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds a year ago, made his season debut in the 109-68 rout of Oakland, meaning Nate Oats is only now unveiling a fully loaded roster that also features sophomore-breakout candidate Amari Allen (11.4/6.9/3.1 last season) and three frontcourt transfers — Drew Fielder, Jamarion Davis-Fleming and Brandon Garrison — brought in specifically to match up with SEC heavyweights like Florida and Tennessee. Averaging triple digits in two of three games even before its top scorer was fully integrated, this is an offense that’s about to get more dangerous, not less, which bodes poorly for a Seton Hall defense facing high-major pace for the first time this season.
Seton Hall, meanwhile, is also 3-0, but the results tell an entirely different story: wins over Saint Peter’s (66-42), LIU (67-60) and Charlotte (68-62) — nobody they’ve played has cracked 62 points, and neither have the Pirates topped 68. That’s right in line with a Shaheen Holloway program that’s historically “built on defense” (65.3 points allowed per game last season, second in the Big East) but shot an abysmal 30.5 percent from three, and this year’s version is an even bigger question mark: 13 new players, just 7.5 percent of last season’s minutes returning, and second-team All-Big East guard Budd Clark now at Ole Miss. It’s no surprise the Big East’s own coaches picked Seton Hall to finish ninth in the conference, and new faces like Simeon Wilcher, Del Jones and shooting specialists Kareem Thomas and Rodney Brown Jr. are still learning to play alongside holdover Elijah Fisher. If the Pirates’ grind-it-out formula that’s barely cleared 68 points against Saint Peter’s and LIU runs into an Alabama team suddenly playing with its full arsenal for the first time all year, this unbeaten start could take a very lopsided hit on the road.
