Alabama broke the 35-year-old March Madness record for 3-pointers with 25 and Mark Sears scored 30 of his 34 points on 3s, a relentless long-range spree that ushered the second-seeded Crimson Tide past BYU 113-88 on Thursday night in an NCAA Tournament East Region semifinal.

Led by Mark Sears' 34 points, the Crimson Tide continued their March run and will play the winner of Duke-Arizona on Saturday.

Sears ended up one long-range basket short of breaking the record Jeff Fryer set in Loyola Marymount's record-breaking 149-115 tournament blowout of Michigan back in 1990. That Lions team starred Hank Gathers and was coached by Paul Westhead, whose team cracked 100 points in all but three games that season.
