Alabama edged out Drake to get to the third-place game at the ESPN Events Invitational Tournament.

This season Alabama is led by the junior duo of Jaden Shackelford (18.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game) and Jahvon Quinerly (15.8 points and 3.8 assists per game).

The Crimson Tide can score in bunches and are one of the most high volume three point shooting teams in the country. So far this season they are getting up 24.7 three-point attempts per game.

On the other side, Miami has been a solid offensive team led by fifth year senior Kameron McGusty (17.0 points and 6.7 rebounds). The Hurricanes can score the ball and get to the free throw line as well as any team in the country, which helps their offense get easy points.

So far this season, McGusty, has two 20+ point nights and two monster free throw nights, going 14-for-17 and 12-for-14 in back-to-back games.

Alabama cannot overlook Miami today or this trap game will give the Tide their second loss of the season. Losing smaller games before the big one can create negative momentum, so look for Alabama to come out swinging today.
