This is not photoshopped. While Alabama was losing in the Iron Bowl, something incredible was happening on their basketball team. There was a fight in the Alabama vs Minnesota game, and Alabama's bench cleared: https://twitter.com/Outkick/status/934565815491313664

The entire bench was ejected: https://twitter.com/RobDauster/status/934566899622563840

Dazon Ingram (an Alabama player) then fouled out: https://twitter.com/csmithSEC/status/934568184669179904

And then another Alabama player was injured: https://twitter.com/TheMaxMeyer/status/934570225764388864

3v5 came and... https://twitter.com/TylerIAm/status/934574051552620544

Final score: 89-84 Minnesota wins by 5 points. Colin Sexton (an Alabama player) went off: https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/status/934576242866696193

You can see a full replay of it, and most of the action starts with around 35:00ish left in the stream: https://www.facebook.com/StadiumCollegeBasketball/videos/780207395499352/

Hats off to the Alabama players for going hard until the end once it was clear the coach wasn't going to just end it early. I feel like Minnesota thought it was just going to be a forfeit plus they were faced with the tough task of actually trying full speed in a 5v3 situation and getting hurt or looking like jackasses for running up the score or whatever else people like to complain about. Perhaps they loosened up a little too much, but they still got the win. Definitely couldn't believe what I was seeing as it was happening though, what a crazy situation.

Seeing Sexton going hard and then literally getting oxygen on the bench before going back to the court was a pretty awesome sight to see, I have to admit.

They brought the game as close as 2 points near the end, had one of there 3's and a couple of calls gone their way, the game might have gone their way.

To me thats just nuts.
