Coming into Sunday’s contest, the backdrop of Florida vs Alabama was the off-court drama surrounding Charles Bediako. The literal G League dropout got clearance from an Alabama booster masquerading as a judge to give it the old college try one more time and suit up for the Crimson Tide.
Todd Golden had been extremely vocal in the lead-up to Sunday’s contest that Bediako playing was a sham and threatened the very fabric of college basketball. But on Sunday, Florida proved they weren’t just willing to talk the talk, they were willing to walk the walk.
