College basketball: Alabama finishes game with three players on the court after bench-clearing brawl

Nate Mason scored 20 points to lead No. 14 Minnesota to an 89-84 victory over No. 25 Alabama, which finished the game with only three players, in the championship game of the Barclays Center Classic on Saturday in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Jordan Murphy had 19 points and 14 rebounds for the Golden Gophers (7-0). Collin Sexton had 40 points for the Crimson Tide (5-1).

The game was marred by a near brawl in the second half, which prompted the ejection of Minnesota Nate Mason. Five Alabama players were ejected for leaving the bench during the fracas and one fouled out.

Nearly three minutes after the incident, Alabama lost John Petty to a leg injury.

at No. 11 Miami 86, North Florida 65: Bruce Brown and Anthony Lawrence scored 14 points each to lead the Hurricanes (5-0). Brown scored six points in a 16-2 run that helped Miami build a 17-point lead midway through the first half. His dunk with 7 minutes 4 seconds to play capped the surge and gave the Hurricanes a 26-9 lead. JT Escobar scored 16 points for the Ospreys (1-7).
