The Alabama Crimson Tide barely escaped their opening-round matchup versus the Robert Morris Colonials. Bama was down by one, well in the second half, before going on a late run but failed to cover the -22.5 spread. They might not be so lucky versus the St. Mary's Gaels in Round 2. St. Mary's can slow the pace, make Alabama play outside their comfort zone, and disrupt their offensive rhythm. If that's the case, the Crimson Tide could be headed home early.
