Daytime Dominator - Rickenbach CBB Game #550 Saturday 8* Alabama Crimson Tide (+) vs Oklahoma Sooners @ 2:15 ET - Everyone jumping on the Sooners with freshman star Trae Young. However, in his last two road games he has shot a combined 22 of 60 from the field! Also, Young has averaged 8.3 turnovers per game in his last 4 games. Alabama head coach Avery Johnson lives for games like this. The highly competitive former NBA player (won an NBA championship with the Spurs in the late 90s) will have his troops ready here as they relish the opportunity of a marquee match-up against a ranked foe in this Saturday matinee affair. The Crimson Tide are making great progress under Johnson (now in his 3rd season) and they are allowing just 69.9 points per game this season while the Sooners are allowing an average of 81.5 points per game. Yes, I know that Oklahoma has the more impressive numbers on offense but don't be surprised if Young has some struggles again on the road. Also, the Sooners are 0-4 ATS as a road favorite of 3 points or less and also 7-15 ATS when off of a win in Big 12 action. Alabama is 9-1 SU at home this season and a long-term 24-4 SU when they face a team that is allowing 77 points or more per game. That means there are angles combining for 52-12 (81%) that favor the home dog Crimson Tide in this one. 8* ALABAMA
