Instant Reactions: Alabama routes BYU in Sweet 16 during record-setting performance

Only two wins away from a return trip to the Final Four, the Alabama Crimson Tide officially returned to men's NCAA Tournament action Thursday night, facing off against the BYU Cougars in the Sweet 16.

An East Region matchup of the No. 2 and No. 6 seeds, Alabama would come away with the victory Thursday night as well by a final score of 113-88, advancing to the Elite Elite on Saturday in the process.

To claim the victory, Alabama certainly impressed as well, making an impact from three-point range in a record-setting performance, led by guard Mark Sears with one of his top showings so far this March.
