Alabama’s Collin Sexton Drops 40 Points Leading 3-Man Team Vs Minnesota

Alabama freshman guard Collin Sexton dropped 40 points while playing 3-on-5 in an 84-89 loss to No. 14 Minnesota on Saturday.

The madness began with 13:43 left in the second half, when seven of Alabama’s reserves were ejected for leaving the bench during a scuffle.

An Alabama player then fouled out and another left with an injury, forcing the Crimson Tide to play over 10 minutes with just three players.

Behind the inspired play of Sexton—a projected 2018 lottery pick—Alabama actually cut Minnesota’s lead to 83-80 at Barclays Center.

Sexton scored 31 of his game-high 40 points (12-22 FG) in the second half—adding 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

In 5 games this season, the 6-3 point guard is averaging 25.2 points on 55.4 percent shooting.
