But he also said if Bediako is allowed to suit up when the teams meet Feb. 1 in Gainesville, it's not going to matter."We're going to beat 'em anyways," Golden said during an appearance on "Gator Talk." "If he plays, we'll beat 'em anyways."Bediako's situation is the latest to stir controversy in the sport. He was a former Crimson Tide standout who declared for the 2023 NBA draft, went undrafted and then signed a two-way contract with the San Antonio Spurs that year. He sued the NCAA earlier this week after it denied Alabama's appeal to allow him to return to college basketball.
