Oklahoma vs Alabama prediction

Alabama 84, Oklahoma 78: Despite being picked to finish 15th in the preseason SEC poll, OU has everything it needs to be one of the top teams in the conference. But a road game against Alabama is a tough way to start things. The Crimson Tide ranks first in the nation in points per game (89.9) with graduate guard Mark Sears leading the way, and it’ll have a significant edge on the glass against the Sooners. I’m going with Alabama at home in a good one.
