Gonzaga Bulldogs vs Alabama Crimson Tide Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 11/24/25

One of the biggest matchups of Monday’s Players Era schedule pits the Gonzaga Bulldogs against the Alabama Crimson Tide at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas at 9:30 pm ET. These programs have met twice in recent years, the first resulting in a 91-82 Alabama win in Seattle in 2021 before a revenge win for the Zags in Birmingham in 2022. The Crimson Tide come into this game at 3-1, having played a grueling schedule over the last couple of weeks – away at St. John’s, at home against Purdue, and in Chicago against Illinois. Meanwhile, Gonzaga (5-0) has not been nearly as challenged, nor have the Zags traveled up and down the country multiple times in recent weeks.

I’m not going to overthink this one. We know what Alabama wants to do under Nate Oats – play fast and shoot a ton of threes. The Tide are doing just that, sitting 13th nationally in average possession length while ranking in the 89th percentile or better in fast break points per game and percentage of points on fast break. Moreover, the Tide shoot 52% of their shots from beyond the three-point line, and while they can go cold at times, they can also get blazing hot with Labaron Philon, Aden Holloway and Latrell Wrightsell in the backcourt. 

Gonzaga doesn’t play as fast as Alabama, but the Zags should be a willing running partner with the Tide. They are top-35 in average possession length, and they – once again – have one of the most efficient offenses in the country. In fact, these teams are 2 of the top 20 offenses in terms of efficiency according to both KenPom and Bart Torvik. Bet high on this one.
