Alabama Player’s Unpunished ‘Vile’ Cheap Shot on Florida Player Sparks Outcry: ‘That Was Assault’

During Wednesday’s game, Alabama’s Crimson Tide men’s basketball team appears to have scooted by without incurring a penalty for rough play.

During the first half of its 98-93 win in overtime against the Florida Gators, officials seemed to completely miss a cheap shot delivered by Alabama’s Mohamed Wague to the Gators’ Alex Condon.

As the teams vied for a rebound, Condon went to the boards, but on the way down, Wague appeared to deliver a vicious — and obvious — knee to Condon’s head. And then, as he went down next to Condon, it also appears that Wague gave an elbow to the fallen Florida player.

Oddly, once Condon was on the floor and trying to guard his head from further blows, officials blew the whistle. But instead of a foul being called on Wague, it was Condon who got the call.

Many fans were left wondering why Alabama’s Wague was not penalized for kneeing and then elbowing Alex Condon.

Hail Florida Hail, for instance, lamented that missed calls like this could launch an open season on the floor.

Should Alabama’s Mohamed Wague be suspended?

“If players could deliver a UFC style elbow to opponents while they are on the ground, then everyone would do it,” the site said.

Many jumped to X to express their outrage at Alabama. And few thought Wague’s actions were anything less than intentional.

So far, nothing has been done to Wague for the play, but 247Sports claims that he is “facing SEC suspension” for Wednesday’s actions that outraged so many fans.

“Alabama men’s basketball forward Mohamed Wague is facing a likely suspension from the SEC for elbowing a Florida player during Wednesday night’s game in Coleman Coliseum, a source said Thursday,” the site reported.

Further, sports reporter Seth Davis wrote that a “multi game suspension” is in the cards.

If Wague finds himself suspended for the play, he won’t be the first to be punished this season. He would join forward Nick Pringle, who has already earned two suspensions for his conduct on the floor, The Mirror noted.

Alabama head coach Nate Oats blasted his player for the suspensions.

“[Pringle] has got to decide whether he wants to be a part of this program or not with some of his decisions and how he conducts himself,” Oats said last month after the player earned his second suspension of the year. “Nothing bad off the court or anything like that, just in practice, in games and we’ll see where it goes.”
