with 25
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) --- Led by Mark Sears, Alabama broke the 35-year-old record
for 3-pointers in an NCAA Tournament game Thursday night, making 25 in a 113-88
victory over BYU in an East Region semifinal.
Sears finished 10 for 16 from 3 to help the Crimson Tide knock Loyola
Marymount's high-octane 1990 team out of the top spot. Sears fell one short of
the individual record set by Loyola Marymount's Jeff Fryer in a memorable
149-115 second-round win over Michigan.
Alabama also broke a week-old record for 3-point attempts in March Madness with
51. Texas Tech shot 46 last week in a first-round win over UNC-Wilmington.
Aden Holloway made six from behind the arc and Alabama shot 49%. The 25 makes
were also the most for the Crimson Tide in any game in program history.
Alabama only took 15 shots from inside the arc, and made 10 of those.
