Alabama basketball played final 10 minutes with just 3 players after entire bench was ejected and nearly won

• Alabama's had seven players ejected for leaving the bench during a scuffle in the Crimson Tide's game against Minnesota on Saturday.
• After one player fouled out and another injured his ankle, Alabama was left with just three players to finish out the final ten minutes of the game.
• Shockingly, Alabama cut into Minnesota's lead while playing down two men, but did not have enough in the tank to complete the comeback.

While the Iron Bowl surely captured the attention of most Alabama fans on Saturday night, the Crimson Tide basketball team also played a game that no one will soon forget.

Facing off against Minnesota at the Barclays Center, Alabama first got into trouble when Collin Sexton traded a bit of trash talk to Gophers guard Nate Mason. Both players drew technical fouls, and Mason drew a second when he kept on talking. That prompted his coach Richard Pitino to jump in to defend him, and draw a technical of his own.
