The 6-foot-1 point guard, Mark Sears, played collegiate basketball for the Ohio Bobcats and Alabama Crimson Tide. He played until his sophomore year with the Bobcats before transferring to the Crimson Tide for his junior year.
After a slow start in his freshman season, appearing in 24 games but making only 5 starts, he averaged 8.5 points and 3.4 assists. After his senior year, Jason Preston declared for the NBA Draft, and Sears was named the team's starting point guard in his sophomore season. He grabbed the opportunity with both hands, averaging 19.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. His shooting splits improved significantly as well, going from 27.9% from deep on 1.8 attempts to 40.8% on 5.4 attempts per game.
The point guard then decided to test the NCAA transfer portal and committed to his dream school, Alabama. A key factor was the Crimson Tide's coach, Nate Oats, and his style of play, which emphasizes a fast tempo and gives freedom to guards. In his junior season and in a new, tough conference, Sears took time to adjust but still ended up averaging 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.2 steals.
After a season spent adjusting, Sears rose to the occasion and averaged 21.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.6 steals.
