College Basketball Rankings: Alabama looks to end Purdue's home win streak in Top 25 And 1 showdown

Alabama aiming to end Purdue's 15-game winning streak at home

No. 2 Alabama will face its toughest test of the season so far when it travels to West Lafayette, Indiana, to take on No. 1 Purdue on Saturday. The Boilermakers have won 15 straight games at home, including a victory over then-No. 1 North Carolina earlier this season.

The Crimson Tide will be looking to avenge a loss to Purdue in last year's NCAA Tournament. Alabama led by 15 points in the second half of that game before Purdue rallied to win. Alabama finished the season with a 26-7 record. Purdue finished the season with a 29-8 record.

Alabama has a talented roster led by Brandon Miller

Alabama is led by sophomore forward Brandon Miller, who is averaging 19.2 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Miller is one of the most talented players in the country and is a projected lottery pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

The Crimson Tide also have a number of other talented players, including guards Jaden Bradley and Rylan Griffen. Bradley is a five-star recruit who is averaging 13.8 points per game. Griffen is a senior who is averaging 12.2 points per game.

Purdue has a veteran team preparing to face Alabama

Purdue is led by senior guard Zach Edey, who is averaging 22.6 points and 13.8 rebounds per game this season. Edey is one of the best players in the country and is a projected top-10 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.

The Boilermakers also have a number of other experienced players, including guards Fletcher Loyer and Caleb Furst. Loyer is a sophomore who is averaging 12.7 points per game. Furst is a junior who is averaging 11.3 points per game.

Alabama will need to play its best game of the season to beat Purdue

Alabama will need to play its best game of the season to beat Purdue on Saturday. The Crimson Tide will need to be efficient on offense and will need to play tough defense against Edey.

If Alabama can do those things, it will have a good chance of winning the game and ending Purdue's home winning streak.
