Alex Condon just delivered the kind of week that turns heads across the SEC-and the league took notice. The Florida forward has been named co-SEC Player of the Week, sharing the honor with Texas A&M’s Rashaun Agee. And make no mistake, Condon earned every bit of it.
Let’s start with the headline performance: a season-high 25 points in Florida’s statement win over No. 23 Alabama.
But that was just the beginning. Condon filled the stat sheet like a seasoned veteran-seven rebounds, six assists, two steals, two blocks, and not a single turnover.
That’s not just a good night. That’s historic.
In fact, he’s the first SEC player this century to post those numbers in a single game. That’s 21st-century dominance.
And it wasn’t a one-off. Earlier in the week, Condon nearly posted a triple-double with 10 points, nine boards, and eight assists. That kind of all-around impact is rare, especially from a forward still growing into his role on a deep Gators squad.
This marks the first time this season-and the fourth time in his career-that Condon has taken home SEC weekly honors. Not bad for the Perth, Australia native, who’s quickly becoming a cornerstone for Florida on both ends of the floor.
He’s also part of a broader trend in Gainesville. Condon is now the third different Gator to earn SEC Player of the Week honors this season, joining Thomas Haugh and Rueben Chinyelu, who was also named a Naismith Player of the Week earlier today. That kind of depth and versatility is what makes this Florida team so intriguing down the stretch.
Historically, this level of individual recognition from multiple players in a single season is rare, but not unprecedented for the Gators. It’s only the fourth time in program history that three different Florida players have earned SEC Player of the Week in the same season.
The last time? Back in 2013-14, when Michael Frazier II, Casey Prather, and Scottie Wilbekin helped power a Final Four run.
Condon’s breakout performances this week aren’t just a personal milestone-they’re a signal that Florida basketball is building something real. With multiple players stepping up and delivering big-time performances, the Gators are showing they’re more than just a one-man show. And if Condon keeps playing like this, Florida might have another deep March run in its sights.
