It's the style of play , if Bama gets you playing their style of game, ugly,slow perimeter shooting type of game they can hang with most teams and have shown a knack for finishing games that they probably had no business winning, basically if it's a poorly played game by both teams I like Bama's chances.

What you've described is a version of the 60s-70s Marquette teams under Al McGuire. You couldn't play a "pretty" game against his teams. One of his quotes when he was asked what type of player he was when he played for the Knicks was...
“My role on the Knickerbockers was to go in and disrupt the opposition, to throw off their rhythm, change the game. They called me a scrambler, and that’s where I got the idea for 'scrambled eggs’ at Marquette, a whole unit that would go in to change the rhythm of a game.”
