Alabama guard Mark Sears earned the team’s hardhat award in an 85-81 win over Arkansas. While his stat line included 11 points, three rebounds, three assists, and a steal, the award recognizes hustle and effort plays. The senior led the team in blue-collar points during his 34 minutes on the court, securing the honor.
Sears and his teammates held off a fierce Arkansas rally after building an 18-point lead in the second half. The Razorbacks surged with a 24-10 run down the stretch, but Alabama managed to secure the road victory. The win moves the Crimson Tide into a tie with Auburn for first place in the SEC regular season standings.
