GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Thomas Haugh and Alex Condon grew up on opposite sides of the globe.
One was raised amid the rolling farmland of rural Pennsylvania. The other came of age along Australia’s sun-soaked west coast.
Neither could have imagined a basketball-obsessed teenager half a world away would one day become his closest friend.
When Haugh and Condon arrived at Florida in the summer of 2023, they were competing for the same frontcourt minutes. Instead of becoming rivals, they became inseparable.
Now, the veteran forwards and trusted teammates form the foundation of a national championship contender. Rather than pursue their professional dreams, Haugh and Condon returned for one final season to chase another NCAA ****** le while setting the tone with their leadership, kinship and versatility.
