How to use the BetMGM Massachusetts promo code

San Diego State Aztecs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide

The Aztecs face off against the Crimson Tide at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville for this Sweet 16 matchup.

This is a style clash as the Tide have been successful this year by getting out in transition and shooting 3-pointers while the Aztecs have won by slowing the game down and working to get to the free-throw line.

Both teams have solid defenses, the Aztecs led the Mountain West Conference in opponent’s three-point percentage and field-goal percentage, and forcing the second most turnovers in the conference. This game isn’t likely to be high-scoring.

The Crimson Tide were the second best in the SEC in opponent’s three-point percentage and first in opponent’s two-point percentage. Alabama has been able to turn the lockdown defense into good looks on the other end, either at the hoop or from beyond the arc, which highlights another difference between these two.

While the Tide shoot almost exclusively 3-pointers or inside baskets, the Aztecs shoot from the mid-range a lot and often work in the post.

San Diego State attempted just over 19 free throws a game during conference play. Additionally, it got to the line at least 14 times in the previous two tournament wins.

Alabama breezed through its early tournament games but San Diego State poses a bigger challenge with the ability to slow down the game. The Aztecs could force the Tide into half-court sets, where they have not performed well this season.

Given all that, look for the first half to go under as the Aztecs are able to slow the game down and force Alabama to try to create open looks. Overall, San Diego State will likely control the pace and that could hinder Alabama.

Back the Aztecs here as they’ll best the region’s No. 1 seed and move on to the Elite Eight.
