00:00The Gators entered the NCAA tournament as the best high major cover team in college basketball,

00:0626-8 against the spread. They've only covered once in the big dance. It was that Sweet 16

00:12Route of Maryland in the second half, despite only being up by a single bucket at the break.

00:18Florida has been a great cover team. We'll see if they do that here against the Tigers. DRS,

00:23I also agree, of course, that Florida, as my national champion, will be in that national

00:28championship game. And one of the reasons I had confidence in the Gators entering the big dance,

00:33not just Walter Clayton Jr., not just the exceptional guard play of Will Richard or

00:38Elijah Martin off the bench for Todd Golden, but the 6'11 Ozzie that can do it all in Alex Condon.

00:44He hasn't so far in the NCAA tournament. The only game he has scored in double figures,

00:50the opener against Norfolk State, when he scored 12 points. He was also injured in the opening

00:56half against Maryland, an ankle injury that he was trying to work through to return in the second

01:01half. He did have a couple of big defensive stops against the Terrapins to seal that game late.

01:08I'm not sure how healthy he was against Texas Tech. I know how healthy he needs to be if they

01:13are going to edge out Auburn tomorrow night in the Final Four. My Final Four best bet, and I am

01:18excited to actually bet this when I reach New Jersey tomorrow, Alex Condon over 10.5 points.
