Nate Mason crossed over and watched Collin Sexton trip over his own teammate and fall to the floor. The Gophers senior captain knew he had him, so he stepped back and drilled a three-pointer with the crowd going crazy.
Mason stared down Sexton, walked up to him and exchanged trash talk.

The All-Big Ten point guard doesn't back down to anyone — not even a potential one-and-done lottery pick freshman prospect. It went too far as Mason was ejected from the game for picking up his second technical foul after the jawing never stopped.
The Gophers confirmed Mason will not be suspended for Wednesday's game against Miami (Fla.) for his ejection. He made a mistake that started a bizarre series of events, including an ensuing skirmish, more ejections and Alabama eventually playing 3-on-5.
But Gophers coach Richard Pitino backed Mason all the way after Saturday's 89-84 win against the Crimson Tide.
"He was getting into it," Pitino said. "He was playing good basketball. I called a timeout so we could move on. I'm not sure exactly what happen. But I do know there were a lot of talented players on the court. There were a lot of people talking about Collin Sexton and talking about (John) Petty. They should. They're talented guys. Nate Mason is just as good as any point guard in the country. And he's the guy who I want."
Pitino was called for a technical after Mason was thrown out, but he said "I deserve that."
"I just told my (team) to calm down," he said. "But I've got to fight for my guys."
