On paper, it looks like a loss. All of the weaknesses of this Purdue team seem to be strengths for Alabama. Post defense and rebounds are a huge red flag in this game. Alabama plays three guys at 6’11” in the post and Purdue plays one seven footer alongside a guy 6’8”.
Well, the game won’t be played on paper. It’s being played in Mackey. So, all bets are off and the game comes down to who produces.
Alabama shoots a lot of threes. Alabama is shooting horribly thus far from deep so Purdue has a chance here.
Alabama likes to attack the rim and Purdue thus far has struggled to keep teams out of the paint. Advantage Alabama here.
Purdue is shooting 44% from deep. Tonight it will need for Alabama to continue missing while also have Purdue hitting it’s average on a higher number of attempts. Purdue has a chance here.
Does Mackey add an advantage against a very old Alabama team who just played in the final four? I think it can and will.
The question is, does Purdue have a chance to win tonight? I think it does but the team will really need to step up in areas they have been struggling with.
I personally have this game as a loss but I also wouldn’t be surprised to see this very talented Purdue team win this one at home.
