Alabama Crimson Tide vs Hofstra Pride Point Spread Picks

Alabama can't wait to get on the court to take its mind off a turbulent week, as Aden Holloway was suspended after his arrest on Monday. The good news for the Crimson Tide is that they have plenty of depth in the backcourt, including guards Labaron Philon and Latrell Wrightsell. Alabama is 23-9, though it comes off an 80-79 loss to Mississippi in the quarterfinals of the SEC tournament. Holloway had 18 points against the Rebels, and Philon was the team's leading scorer with 28 points. Hofstra is 9-4 UNDER its past 13 games, and it has allowed opponents an average of 60.8 points in its past five games. The average posted total for those five games was 138.1, and this game is 159.5. The Pride went through a five-game losing streak last January before winning 11 of 12. However, Alabama has won nine of 11 against SEC competition. Take Alabama and the UNDER.
