When we don't make careless unforced turnovers, we are very difficult to beat.
Just a GREAT road win for the Gators. Alabama is an excellent team that shoots the ball extremely well and can score in all kinds of ways. Sears is a legit All-American. But we dominated the boards and that made all the difference tonight. We had more turnovers than them and they had more assists than us. They shot 3's better than us. But we had more 2nd chance points and more fast break points. Condon was awesome and the TEAM played well together inspite of a bunch of bad passes where they were trying for dunks or layups. Can't complain about much of anything when you win on the road against a Top 10 team. Another resume' builder in trying to earn a #1 seed.

A quick breakdown of Wednesday night's top-10 SEC clash (and huge win) at Tuscaloosa.

I've already said it before I'd rather us be a 2 seed. Next up is to beat Ole Miss as they just beat TN. I just hope Lunardi is wrong as usual. He now has us a 1 seed in the west again.
Not sure how that would work. I would think us #1 in Midwest and Houston #1 in West but Indy is closer to Houston than San Fran actually.
We had 9 turnovers early and I think we had one more the rest of the entire game
Yep. 8 in the first half and only 2 in the second half. Golden said at halftime that the "lazy" turnovers were a problem. We had 9 players score tonight. Impressive.
Beard is a great coach. His personal character is somewhat questionable, but the guy wins everywhere he goes.
It's just insane because we STILL haven't played a complete game in a long time, and we just keep averaging 85 plus when you look up.. If we ever have a game where Martin, Clayton and Richard are all going off God bless the other team.. But it always comes from somewhere, Condon absolutely dominated them the way Samuel did for us against them down low all 3 times down low.. We are pessimistic by nature as Gator fans but the more you watch this team, it's just gonna take a GOLIATH situation to wipe us out in the Tournament.. A 26 point lead on the road wasn't safe with a team shooting 80% from the floor and 3 for a half, our entire team would basically have to be on the take to blow it.. Think about it, the two teams we just played are legit and you might not face teams even that good until you get to a regional Final as a 1 or 2 seed out of our conference.. If this team doesn't make the Final Four in the Alamodome it will be heart breaking, every player on this team deserves the chance to play on that stage..
