Alabama made history in the NCAA Tournament on Thursday night, breaking a 35-year-old record for 3-pointers in a game with 25 in their victory over BYU. Mark Sears led the Crimson Tide with 10 made 3-pointers, just one shy of the individual record set by Loyola Marymount’s Jeff Fryer in 1990. This performance also shattered the previous record for 3-point attempts in March Madness with 51, as Texas Tech had shot 46 in a game last week.
In addition to the team and individual records, Alabama’s 49% shooting from beyond the arc was impressive, with Aden Holloway contributing six made 3-pointers. The team only took 15 shots from inside the arc, making 10 of them. This historic night marked the most 3-pointers made in a single game in Alabama’s program history.
This victory propels Alabama into the East Region final, where they will face off against the winner of the next game. The team’s exceptional shooting performance and record-breaking night have captured the attention of college basketball fans and experts. With their eyes set on advancing further in the tournament, Alabama’s success from beyond the arc will be a key factor in their quest for a championship title.
