Florida vs Alabama Prediction & Picks - NCAA Men

Prediction published on 2/1/26, 9:35 AM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 2/10/26 at 6:23 AM in Basketball Picks

The No. 19 Florida Gators (15-6, 6-2 SEC) are back at home today, hosting the No. 23 Alabama Crimson Tide (14-6, 4-3 SEC) at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center in Gainesville, FL. Fans can follow the action once the game gets underway at 1 p.m. EST, with coverage provided by ABC.

Last weekend, the Gators suffered their second conference loss, falling 76-67 to Auburn at home. They rebounded from the loss their last time out, beating South Carolina in dominant fashion, 95-48, on the road. Alabama will, of course, put up a much better fight in today’s game. Well, at least on the offensive end and especially on the perimeter. The Tide are No. 4 in the country in scoring with 92 points per game. Much of that scoring comes from behind the arc, where Alabama ranks No. 1 in the country in three-point attempts (35.7 per game) and second in made three-pointers (12.4 per game). They’ll need to make a high percentage of those shots because they will probably not get too many second-chance opportunities against the top rebounding teams in the conference and one of the best in the country.
