Barclays Center Classic
Top Teams: (14) Minnesota, (25) Alabama
Best Potential Game: (25) Alabama vs. (14) Minnesota - Saturday 5 ET, Facebook Watch
Yes, you are reading that correctly. When the two top teams in the Barclays Center Classic meet on Saturday, the telecast will be on Facebook. That being said, it will be worth the effort to seek out this game, because these two teams feature some very exciting players.
Minnesota's junior forward Jordan Murphy has broken out this year averaging 23.8 points and 12.2 rebounds per game in the Golden Gophers' first five wins. One of those was an impressive comeback victory at Providence during the Gavitt Tipoff Games.
Alabama hasn't really been tested much when they have been at full strength, but they have to like what they have seen out of freshman guards Collin Sexton and John Petty thus far. Sexton and Petty are averaging 23.5 and 18.3 points per game respectively to start the season.
