US Edition'We're Gonna Beat 'Em Anyways' Becomes a Main Storyline for Alabama-Florida Hoops Matchup
Todd Golden said his viral comment about beating Alabama was not disrespectful and has fueled media buildup ahead of their sold-out game, with Florida averaging 102.5 points in the series.
- On Friday, Todd Golden defended his remark about Charles Bediako’s return as Florida hosts Alabama in a sold-out O'Connell Center.
- Todd Golden’s on-air quip originated when the school’s weekly radio show was broadcast last week; he described it as a `slippery slope` and questioned if it was `a good thing to say or a bad thing to say` after Alabama players considered it a callout.
- A Tuscaloosa judge granted a temporary restraining order last week allowing Bediako to play while his NCAA lawsuit proceeds, and that judge has since recused himself.
- Bediako's presence shifts interior matchups as Alabama’s frontcourt matches Florida’s top rebounding team, with Aden Holloway, Latrell Wrightsell Jr. and Amari Allen returning for Sunday’s broadcast.
- College coaches say the case should prompt NCAA and congressional action amid allegations the Tuscaloosa judge with Alabama donor ties issued the TRO allowing Bediako to play; Florida is 0-2 against Bediako overall.
