San Diego State vs. Alabama: NCAA Tournament Same Game Parlay Picks (3/24)

by |

Alabama has rolled through this tournament so far with two 20+ point wins. The overall No. 1 seed and the potent offense have been the focal point all season and through March, but they’ll see one of their toughest opponents this season. San Diego State’s defense could give this team trouble, and we could see another No. 1 seed go down.

Let’s look at the same parlay for this game where we could see that scenario.

San Diego State vs. Alabama: Friday’s Best Same Game Parlay

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

San Diego State +7.5 (-110)

San Diego State was close to suffering an early knockout against 11-seed Charleston, and then they easily took down 13-seed Cinderella, Furman. The Aztecs do not have the offensive talent to stay competitive with Alabama, but their defense is tough and physical. San Diego will try and control the pace of play. Bama is the sixth-fastest team in the country, while SDSU is 346th.

The Tide has not seen a half-court defense like San Diego State this season. They like to get in your face and force you to make bad shots and commit errors. That isn't beneficial for a team that's 226th in turnover rate this year.

I'll take the Aztecs keeping this game close and possibly pulling off the upset.

UNDER 137.5 Game Total (-115)

San Diego State has had a great first two games on the defensive side and held two top-20 offenses to under 60 points. Alabama will want to jack up the threes because from beyond the arc and close to the rim are the two places they excel.

The pressure of SDSU and their fourth-best defense will force Bama into bad shots, and they're allowing the fourth-lowest three-point percentage. Take the under.

Jahvon Quinerly UNDER 13.5 Points (-130)

Matt Bradley vs. Jahvon Quinerly will be the matchup to watch in this game. What's made Alabama one of the better teams in the country is they have multiple scoring options. Quinerly, along with Mark Sears and Brandon Miller, will try to get open looks, and no one will be the sole playmaker.
