Northeastern at Alabama

Northeastern won the Colonial Conference during the regular season, but could not make it out of the Conference Tournament, and will get a shot at Alabama in the NIT. The Huskies have done well in their toughest games with wins over Princeton, and Belmont, and they played La Salle to a 2-point loss, and Charlotte to an 8-point loss. I don't see them getting blown out here vs. an Alabama team that has 13 losses on the season, including losses to Mercer and Tulane. Since starting 6-0, Alabama has only beaten three teams by more than 12 points, and Northeastern is competent enough to hang in there. The Huskies overachieve after underachieving, as they are 14-2 ATS following an ATS loss. The Tide is reeling after a loss at 4-12-1 ATS in their last seven. Play the dog, and back Northeastern.
