NEWARK, NJ — The Crimson Tide continued one of the most successful runs in program history on Thursday night, clinching a second consecutive Elite Eight berth with a 113-88 regional semifinal win over BYU at the Prudential Center.
Mark Sears led the way for Alabama, catching fire from three-point range and scoring a game-high 34 points. The 5th-year senior nailed a career-high 10 3-pointers. When Sears wasn't drilling triples, Aden Holloway and Chris Youngblood kept up the hot shooting, hitting 12 of their 25 threes. The guard trio combined for 77 points, including 66 from beyond the arc.
