College basketball highlights: Indiana, Villanova pull off huge upsets
Another Saturday meant another action-packed men's and women's college hoops slate on FOX and FS1. Here are the top plays!FEBRUARY 26, 2023
Trey Alexander - Slump continuesAlexander finished with eight points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 79-67 loss to Villanova.
ImpactIn an acute extension of his slump, Alexander is averaging just 8.3 points per game on 29.0 percent shooting from the field and 26.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc over his last three games. The sophomore's workload remains consistent, and his season-long 44.4/40.5/79.4 percent shooting slash makes him a bounce-back candidate.
