*ON TNT* SATURDAY CBB TOTALS CLUB - 17-3 RUN!
(NCAAB) Ducks (ORE) vs. Crimson Tide (ALA),
Total: 166.50 | -115.00 Under
Result: Win
At 9:30pm ET, my selection is on Oregon vs Alabama under. This is the championship of the Players Era Festival, played in Las Vegas. In advancing here and in going 13-1 combined to start the season, these teams have shown that can score a lot of points. Alabama, especially, has been in some high-scoring games.That's why we've got a very high total. The defenses are better than you might think though, especially Oregon, and they are going to be bringing it on that side of the ball for the final. Alabama won a high-scoring game when these teams met in a tournament in Florida last November. One key difference was that the Ducks big man Nate Bittle was injured. He's good for at least a couple of blocks a game and will make scoring on the inside more difficult than last year. From the outside, the Ducks held San Diego State to 6-of-19 on 3-point attempts and are limiting opponents to 29.5 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Each of Oregon's last 6 games have finished with 153 or fewer points. Play on the under.
