Mark Sears from Alabama Basketball is on the list of semi -finalists for the men’s player of the year Naishith Trophy.

Mark Sears from Alabama Basketball was appointed semi -finalist for the Naishith Trophy men’s player of the year. The honor came a day after deserving an all-American nod of the first team from the sports news.

Sears belonged to 10 semi -finalists for the award. Auburn’s Johni Broome was also on the list.

Other semi -finalists were Floridas Walter Clayton Jr., Dukes Cooper Flagg, Marquettes Cam Jones, Ryan Kalkbrenner from Creighton, RJ Luis of St. John’s, Purdues Braden Smith, J. John Tonje, JT Topin from Texas Tech. The list will be cut to four finalists on March 20.

The winner of the award will be announced on April 6th. Alabama has never achieved a game win.

Sears ended the regular season with an average of 19.2 points per game for the Crimson Tide. He also broke five assists and 3.1 rebounds per game.

The Point Guard from Muscle Shoals appeared in Auburn in a big moment on Saturday. After the score was connected late in the extension, he got Labaron Philon’s ball and made himself his left side. Finally, he hit a jumper from the open-air line to win the game because the time against the No. 1 team had expired.

“When we needed him late, he got through and delivered,” said Crimson Tide head coach Nate Oats after the game. “I exchanged myself because this game design was not so great to be honest. I think what was great about it was that it was in the hands of a pretty great player. So he delivered there for us late. “

Alabama’s season continues on Friday when she is exposed to Kentucky in the quarter -finals of the SEC basketball tournament. The tide earned a double bye to start the tournament while Kentucky played with the way into the game by defeating Oklahoma.

After completing the Missouri Florida Matchup, the UA-U-UK game is to hand in at around 8:30 p.m. CT, which will begin at 6 p.m. CT. The game is broadcast in the second network.
