Matchup Breakdown

Kennesaw State Outlook

Kennesaw State averages 94.5 points per game, with Simeon Cottle and Braedan Lue leading the offense. Their rebounding edge (44.9 per game, 5th nationally) highlights balance, though their 8-3 record reflects inconsistency. Their ability to score in bunches and battle on the boards gives them a chance to stay within the spread.

Alabama Outlook

Alabama averages 94.1 points per game with Labaron Philon and Aden Holloway providing scoring depth. Their perimeter shooting (12.5 threes per game, 6th nationally) and offensive efficiency highlight dominance. Their 8-3 record and recent 104-93 win over South Florida underscore betting confidence heading into SEC play.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

The game hinges on Alabama’s ability to control tempo and improve rebounding, while Kennesaw State must lean on Cottle and Sherman to pace the offense. If Alabama limits second-chance opportunities, their depth should create separation.
