Case in pt re: Pace - one of the biggest plays in the championship saw a Haugh block snagged by Condon, who passed out to Walt, who did not hesitate on a cross court pass to Alijah, who went right to the bucket for a two shot foul. That sequence gave the Gators the lead at the end.
And both Haugh and Condo raced downcourt and were all over the glass, if needed. It wasn't; Alijah made both freebies. Just tremendous hustle by every Gator on the floor.
Methinks we are going to take a step backwards in the rebounding numbers. The reason? There won't be as many offensive rebounding opportunities this year! Cha CHING!
