Alabama’s historic, record-setting offensive explosion puts Tide on course for national title contention

Newark, New Jersey – What is glorious of sport is the extent of its repetition that gives us something that seems very rare, and he feels that it is sent from another dimension. As if it couldn’t happen again.

What happened at the PRUDENTIAL Center on Thursday evening is definitely applies.

Who knows how long it will take, if any, the world will witness something equal or better than Tide Tide in Alabama, the second seed here. The Nate Oats’ Sniper Held Squad team sank in the NCA 25 championship from 3 throws against the number 6 byu on its way to determine the record and identification of programs 113-88 in the semi-finals of the eastern regional final.

“This was a fun game if you liked the attack,” said oats in a tone that was not loud enough to match the size of what his team accomplished over the past two hours. “I think the 3S record that was made in a game is loaded by Troy directly from Alabama with 28. We wanted to reach 28 tonight, but 25 is not bad.”

The 25 -year -old Alabama team destroyed the 21 -year -old mark for 35 years by Liola Marimaont, a team that changed how the game was played at a time when most of them considered most of them a tone, not an advantage.

In the Sweet 16 game on Thursday, Alabama published the snapshot like a heavy blow, move the coter and rolling the tide in the eighth elite for a second consecutive season.

The crime of the higher registration in the country (91.1 points per game) managed to outperform its expectations by 22 points in a game that was said to be a race to 100. Certainly, Alabama reached 100 and won the match, but it was for many minutes before the tide slimed to the century mark.

“I liked watching them playing,” Oats said of the famous Black teams trained by Paul Westhore. “That was the first year of high school that year. I remember that Bou Kimbel shoots free, left, in honor [Gathers]. I liked watching them playing. They arrived down. Perhaps part of the reason we are training the way we train. It is more fun in this way. “

Besides the 25 Treys, there were many attempts in 51 attempts, which is a 49 % beating rate, which is also a record in the NCAA Championship for this hundred of attempts exceeding 3 points. Looking so far is unprecedented: Alabama was defeated by byu if he did not plunge a single shot of two points. It was 75 points in 3s and 18 points of the wrong shots would have achieved a victory 93-88 in their favor.

To this end, the BAMA 10 shots of points scored a record in a game decorated with it: It was the lowest number of shots that were made inside the 3 -point arc by a 100 -scored team in the NCAA championship that gave it ever … with a six -maker pen. (Kentucky 16 achieved 100-71 victory over Tennessee in the first round of 2010.)

It has been a long time since a team has reached 110 points in the NCAA Championship. That was North Carolina, in 2008, against the 16th seed. Did you do it against the sixth BYU team, which was 11-1 in the previous 12 in this game.

It has been a long time since a team has reached 110 points in the NCAA Championship. That was North Carolina, in 2008, against the 16th seed. Pama did against the BYU team, which was 11-1 in its previous 12 matches in this competition.

The trilogy descended like meteorites, one by one after the other.

The performance was very huge, Alabama set the 3 points with 7:41 to go. Mark Cepers, who made this trio, drained 10 of them – shy of the record – while totaling 34 points. Preseason all-aerican had the best game in his five-year college. He also became the third player to have at least three games of the NCAA championship from 25 points and 5 times help, as he joined Jimmer Fredette of byu and another man was good in his day, Billy Donovan of Proventins.

It is also the only demand to record at least eight three -throws and call in eight assists in the NCAA tournament game. It was a fierce swing against his last directions; Celes was shooting 14 % at 3S in its previous six matches.

“I was only in an area,” said Sears. “Once I saw the first three fell, I felt that the basket was big like the ocean, and every time I fired bullets, I felt that she was walking. I only lost myself in the game and let everything happen.”

His attractiveness that he has [a] “The defense is something that I have not played before,” said his teammate.

Sears’s 34 points celebrated with 8 tools, the first Sweet 16 game in which the player met with these thresholds since Chris Molin in 1985.

Alabama team this is one victory away from progressing to the second semi -finals in a row.

The tide was polished from their best games – do you dare say their best? Consider circumstances – in the history of the program. They put 51 points in the first half, and the most important they allowed Koger in 52 games in the NCAA championship.

“People ask me about the 3S number that you want to get out of every game,” OTS said. “Well, it somewhat depends on how to protect us. If they guard us as we learned that the byu was walking in the gaps, we will take 50, 51.”

On Thursday, the Alabama team performed the best performance in its season, in the entire university basketball season. It cannot be repeated, but if the tide can take advantage of something until it closes again, no one will hit this team when it plays well.

113 points in Alabama are equivalent to 40 minutes over 1.43 points for each possession of a manifestation of madness obsessive, one that we can only hope will be the 86 -year -old West, watching and flowing, wherever he finds himself Thursday evening. If he is watching, he should be pleased and amazed like our rest – but perhaps not at least he was surprised.
