Mississippi State vs Alabama Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
These are two very different teams. Mississippi State hasn’t won a game away from their home floor since December, and it doesn’t appear that will change tonight. Alabama is rock solid at home, capable of beating any team.
Aside from record and talent level, these two teams play very different styles as well. The Crimson Tide are a run-and-gun team, playing at one of the highest tempos in the country. The Bulldogs like to slow things down, and they average almost eight fewer points as a result.
When it rains it pours in Tuscaloosa, and that is what I’m expecting tonight. When Alabama is leading and able to control the pace, they are tough to play with. Look for them to get up early and control the game the rest of the night, remaining steady during any Bulldog runs.
Our college basketball betting Mississippi State vs Alabama prediction tonight will be Alabama covering the spread at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Alabama a 70.6% chance to win.
