Mark Sears is still soaring to new heights in his fifth season of college basketball. The best player for No. 4 Alabama was just that yet again in the Crimson Tide’s 96-83 win over Kentucky. He led the Tide with 30 points in the win, following up a 35-point performance in Alabama’s loss to No. 15 Missouri. It’s the first time in his career he’s put up back-to-back 30-plus scoring performances.
After his latest performance, Alabama coach Nate Oats said Sears is playing his best basketball on both ends since his arrival in Tuscaloosa. When asked where he thinks the spark has come from, Oats offered a simple explanation.
“I think he just wants to win,” Oats said after the game. “I think he came back to try to win a national championship. He came back to try to play his way into the NBA. Winning solves a lot of that stuff.”
