TIDE ROLLS IN RECORD-SETTER: Alabama broke the 35-year-old March Madness record for 3-pointers with 25 and Mark Sears, right, scored 30 of his 34 points on 3s in an 113-88 victory over BYU in an NCAA Tournament East Region semifinal on Thursday night in Newark, New Jersey. The Crimson Tide made 25 of 51 3s to break the record of 21 set by Loyola Marymount in 1990. Sears’ 10 3s were one short of the record set by Loyola Marymount’s Jeff Fryer in a memorable 149-115 second-round win over Michigan.
