Florida Basketball: Alex Condon takes a head shot, but he is called for the foul
One of the sources of frustration for Florida Basketball last night during its loss to Alabama was the officiating. There were a number of questionable moments that seemed to favor the home team more times than not.
And emblematic of the angst with the refs was a play that could warrant a suspension for Alabama, yet it was Florida called for the foul.
Florida Basketball: Headshot
Alex Condon dove on the ground for a ball and got tangled up with an Alabama player. As Condon was on the ground, Crimson Tide forward Mohamed Wague had an interesting way of going to ground himself.
Was a flagrant foul called on Wague? Of course not.
Did they even call a common foul on Wague? No, not at all.
There was a foul called, it just happened to go on Condon.
If players could deliver a UFC style elbow to opponents while they are on the ground, then everyone would do it.
The Gators would go on to lose the game in overtime.
