No. 2 Alabama vs No. 1 Duke NCAAB News: No. 2 Alabama vs No. 1 Duke

Despite their strong basketball legacies, Duke and Alabama have only squared off once before, with the Blue Devils claiming the win back in 2013. Alabama lit up the scoreboard against BYU in their last outing, but replicating that kind of offensive performance against Duke’s lockdown defense will be a tall order. The Blue Devils rank fifth nationally in defensive efficiency, holding opponents to under 40% shooting from the field and just 31% from beyond the arc.

Alabama's inconsistency shows in their recent losses to Florida—twice in their last 10 games by margins of 5 and 22 points—against a Gators squad ranked ninth in defensive efficiency. That should raise red flags as they now face a Duke team that's arguably even tougher on that end of the floor.

Alabama may have had their peak moment against BYU, but this matchup heavily favors Duke. With an average margin of victory over 21 points and KenPom projecting a spread closer to eight, the Blue Devils have the edge in both metrics and momentum. Take Duke ATS
