NCAA Hoops Betting Alabama at No. 11 Clemson

The Alabama Crimson Tide (10-3 SU, 4-4 ATS, 6-2 O/U) have won five consecutive games in the BetOnline Sportsbook coming into tonight’s matchup with the undefeated 11th-ranked Clemson Tigers, (14-0 SU, 5-4 ATS, 5-4 O/U).

The Tide spanked Georgia Tech 88-77 on Saturday as senior guard Ronald Steele scored a team-high 23 points and dished out 10 assists to help Alabama cover the spread for BetOnline NCAA college basketball sports betting enthusiasts as a 3.5-point home favorite in the BetOnline Sportsbook.

"I’m just getting better and better," said Steele who has battled injuries the last two seasons. "I just tried to do the things we needed to win the game."

Alonzo Gee recorded his second double-double in three games with 15 points and a career-high 18 rebounds.

"Steele and Gee are as good as we’ve faced," said Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell, who is 11-4 against SEC teams. "I’m not going to say we’re not ready. We’ve won on the road in the ACC. We’ve won on the road in the Big Ten. We’ve won on the road in the SEC, so I’m not worried about it."

The undefeated Tigers touted East Carolina in their 70-66 win on Saturday. Clemson failed to cover the spread in the BetOnline Sportsbook as 24-point home favorites.

Senior shooting guard K.C. Rivers led four players that reached double figures in scoring with 18 points.
