BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Alabama forward Mohamed Wague was suspended for one game by the Southeastern Conference on Thursday for elbowing Florida's Alex Condon in the back of the head.BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Alabama forward Mohamed Wague was suspended for one game by the Southeastern Conference on Thursday for elbowing Florida's Alex Condon in the back of the head.

Wague, who averages 4.0 points and 2.8 rebounds per game for the 13th-ranked Crimson Tide, will miss Saturday's game at No. 17 Kentucky.


Wague threw the elbow while Condon was on the ground during a scramble for a loose ball in the first half of Wednesday night's game, which Alabama won 98-93 in overtime. Wague was not called for a foul on the play.

"We received the discipline for Mo from the SEC and agree with the suspension," Alabama coach Nate Oats said in a statement. "After reviewing the film, the penalty is understandable and appropriate."

NCAA rules require a player be suspended for the next regular-season game if he commits an act of fighting. That's defined as "a confrontation involving one or more players, coaches or other team personnel wherein (but not limited to) a fist, hand, arm, foot, knee or leg is used to combatively strike the other individual."

But, he didn't do anything!

Everyone wants a piece of the Tide. Who knew? You put a lot of work and research into your Wague post. Good job Mike! Lulz

Clean play. Pussies.

It’s clearly an unintentional, high effort, clean play. Dude’s head was in the way.

Everything looks bad in slow motion. He got his feet knocked out from under him. Why would he randomly decide to karate chop someone in the head? Seems more likely that he just lost his balance

An inadvertent elbow isn’t dirty. And why aren’t Florida fans melting about it? Because it wasn’t dirty.

Bill Laimbeer laughs at this. He would elbow himself and his own teammates harder than this.
