The BYU Cougars scored 88 points tonight. On any given night, you would expect to be either winning or in a one-possession game with a total like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The BYU Cougars lost tonight by 25 points!!!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alabama shot 25-51 from three-point range as they unloaded for 113 points. What makes that even crazier is their leader Mark Sears, who had 34 points off 10 three-pointers (one off the individual record) sat for the last 4 minutes since the game was so wrapped up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 25 three pointers made is a tournament record. The 51 three pointers shot is a tournament record. The Crimson Tide coasted their way to a huge victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the Tide shoot like that, they will be the 2025 national champions. That was one of the most dominating performances I have seen. Sure, they might face some tougher defenses later in the tournament – but BYU is a really good team, and the Crimson Tide scored 113 points while resting some of their starters over the last 4 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Florida Gators are up 17 points on Maryland with 2 minutes to play. So, the Sweet 16 has been very sweet for the SEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
