ANALYSIS: While this site doesn't quite consider them to be in the national title hunt, Alabama has the potential to be a formidable opponent for many in Division I. They have a record of 19-15 and are ranked 55th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 14) in the SEC (average ranking 68.6).
Alabama has a reasonably potent offensive attack. Occupying the #44 slot in our offensive efficiency rankings, they will score about 108 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Alabama is an excellent shooting team, capable of converting from multiple locations on the court and ranking in the top-50 in three of our four primary field goal categories. They are most proficient from two-point range, making good on 41.1% of their mid-range jumpers (tenth in the nation), 66.6% of their near-proximity chances (17th), and 46.4% of their total shots from the field (40th) vs. AO. Alabama also does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 34.54 vs. AO, they are ranked 16th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 70.7%. If Alabama does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad only has a rating of 11.11 vs. AO in potential points off of second chances, which ranks 15th-worst in college hoops.
Alabama plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 83rd nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 96 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Alabama does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 4.7% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 12th in the NCAA), and with a rating of 12.01, they're 14th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well. Alabama also boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #40 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 39.6% of their total attempts from the floor.
On the road, Alabama performs somewhat better than their norm, as the squad is nationally ranked 40th in our away-from-home metric.
