Alex Condon tallied 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists and Thomas Haugh scored 22 points to help No. 19 Florida deliver a 100-77 beatdown of No. 23 Alabama on Sunday afternoon in Southeastern Conference play at Gainesville, Fla.
Boogie Fland added 15 points, eight assists and a career-best eight steals for the Gators (16-6, 7-2 SEC), who won for the 11th time in the past 13 games. Florida committed just two turnovers and reached 100 points for the third time this season.
Aden Holloway scored
19 points for Alabama (14-7, 4-4), which allowed its most points this season. Labaron Philon had 14 points and Aiden Sherrell scored 13 for the Crimson Tide.
Alabama 7-footer Charles Bediako was limited to six points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots in 24 minutes before fouling out. The former pro is controversially playing because a Tuscaloosa (Ala.) judge recently granted him temporary eligibility; Gators coach Todd Golden recently ripped Alabama's decision to roster Bediako, capping his statement with, "If he plays, we'll beat them anyways."
