Alabama vs. Hofstra Analysis
This is a tremendous stylistic clash.
Alabama is well-known for its desire to push pace (fourth nationally in tempo, per KenPom) and launch 3s (first in 3PA rate).
Hofstra, meanwhile, wants to bog the game down (334th in average offensive possession length) and can completely take away the rim (third nationally in 2P% defense, sixth in average 2-point attempt distance allowed).
Few mid-major teams have a better guard duo than the Pride’s Cruz Davis and Preston Edmead, and if Hofstra can control the pace, it could frustrate the free-flowing Tide.
If Alabama can’t get easy points and is a little cold from deep, we could see Davis and Edmead outduel Alabama’s Labaron Philon and Aden Holloway in an elite guard battle.
