Notre Dame won a thrilling double-overtime game 89-87 over Rutgers on Wednesday and now has to travel to San Diego to take on a rested Alabama squad. The Fighting Irish won on Paul Atkinson's putback layup with 1.4 seconds left and he finished with a team-leading 20 points. Alabama shot only 35.8 percent while losing to Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament and that is about nine percentage points below its average. Jaden Shackelford leads three double-figure scorers for the Crimson Tide with 16.6 points per game, but he made only 6 of 18 for 21 points against the Commodores. Notre Dame is 0-5 ATS its last five games at neutral sites as an underdog and the Irish are just 5-12 ATS their past 17 NCAA Tournament games and 15-6-1 UNDER in the NCAA tourney. Alabama played one of the toughest schedules in the country this season and the defense allows just 43.5 percent shooting overall and 33.1 percent on 3-pointers. Take Alabama and the UNDER.
