Huh? Alabama Played 3-on-5 Basketball

The Alabama-Minnesota basketball game transformed into a hockey power play, and the Crimson Tide still almost won.  Just like hockey, it all started with a fight.

Alabama’s bench cleared during the scuffle, prompting officials to eject every single player on the sideline.  Avery Johnson was a lonely man for most of the second half.

Their numbers shrunk on the court to three after one player fouled out and another turned his ankle. Despite it all, they still almost won the game.  Collin Sexton scored 40 points and the Golden Gophers’ lead was cut to three with a minute-and-a-half to play, before Minnesota pulled away with an 89-84 victory.

There’s only one explanation for Alabama’s oddly timed success: it just means more.
