Florida Dominates Alabama in 100-77 Victory
Florida delivered a commanding performance, defeating the Alabama Crimson Tide by 23 points with a final score of 100-77. Despite holding a significant lead, Coach Todd Golden kept his Florida starters in the game until less than 70 seconds remained in the second half.
Prior to the game, Coach Golden had publicly stated that the Gators would beat the Crimson Tide, even with the addition of Charles Bediako to Alabama's roster.
During the contest at Exactech Arena, the crowd was heard chanting "G-League dropout" towards Charles Bediako. Bediako himself accumulated five fouls and was statistically outperformed by Florida players Rueben Chinyelu and Alex Condon.
Aftermath for Alabama
Following this defeat, Alabama's record now stands at 1-2 since Bediako joined the team. The Crimson Tide are anticipated to drop out of the top-25 rankings.
Coach Golden's pre-game statement was ultimately supported by his team's dominant performance on the court.
