Florida was forced to lean into its depth for two road wins over ranked teams, and the abundance of options may be a factor again.The third-ranked Gators are content with their deep roster and believe it can help them beat scuffling South Carolina on Saturday night in Gainesville, Fla., if Alijah Martin and Alex Condon are unavailable.Seeking its fourth straight win, Florida (21-3, 8-3 Southeastern Conference) is beginning a stretch of four straight games against teams with losing conference records. The Gators beat then-No. 1 Auburn last Saturday and No. 22 Mississippi State on Tuesday without Martin (hip pointer), their second-leading scorer behind Walter Clayton Jr. (17.5 ppg).Martin, averaging 15.3 points, was injured in Florida’s win over Vanderbilt and practiced before their 81-68 victory at Mississippi State. Denzel Aberdeen, the team’s sixth-leading scorer (8.0 points), replaced Martin and scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half when the Gators shot 54.8 percent, made 8 of 16 3s and outscored Mississippi State 48-34.Aberdeen’s big game saw him score seven points in Florida’s 17-0 run to start the second half. It occurred after the Gators lost Condon to a low ankle sprain 30 seconds into the contest when he was trying to gain possession of a loose ball on a sequence Florida coach Todd Golden believed was a “dirty play.”Thomas Haugh replaced Condon and scored 16 points for the second straight game to supplement 19 from Clayton, who missed the win over Vanderbilt with an ankle injury.”I’m incredibly proud of our team,” Golden said. “Our team has continued to show a great next-man-up mentality. We’ve got to keep it going. It’s not going to be easy, but this team has shown great resolve over the last week and a half.”Five of Florida’s conference wins are by double digits, but their biggest resolve appeared in their visit to South Carolina on Jan. 22 when Will Richard hit the game-winning layup with 4.8 seconds left in a 70-69 win.
