Run, Run, Run. Thats what these two teams will do tonight! With the firing of Anthony Grant, this will open up Alabama's offense quite a bit. Alabama hosts Illinois in the NIT here and this team has nothing to lose so why not. Alabama does have a top 60 offense, top 100 in effective field goal percentage and faces an Illinois team who is top 125 in offense and who comes off a poor defensive performance against Michigan. The point here is you have an Alabama team that rarely pushes the pace but will want to push the pace heavily here as they will want to see how this team plays with an up tempo style. Let's roll with just that from this coaching change and this to be an uptempo game and OVER THE TOTAL.
