When Andrew Nembhard has it going — really has it going — it feels like the game flows through him, and that everything happens at his pace and on his whim.
Against Alabama on this Saturday, in Florida’s 71-53 win over the Crimson Tide, Nembhard had it going like he never has before as a Gator.
Florida’s freshman point guard scored a career-high 21 points on a perfect nine-for-nine performance from the field that featured midrange jumpers, finishes at the rim and through traffic, and threes that aren’t in his wheelhouse.
And no, he didn’t do a lot of the distributing that he often does on this day, finishing with just two assists — as many as Jalen Hudson (on a scintillating no-look cross-body pass from the top of the arc, mind) and Isaiah Stokes had combined — on Florida’s final two baskets.
