Alabama’s Mark Sears is one of five finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, given annually to the top point guard in college basketball.

Sears, a senior from Muscle Shoals, leads the Crimson Tide in scoring (19.1 points per game) and assists (5.0 per game), ranking second in the SEC in both categories. He is also the NCAA Division I active leader in career points (2,706).

It’s the second straight year Sears has been a finalist for the Cousy Award, named for the former Holy Cross star and Boston Celtics Hall-of-Famer. Connecticut’s Tristan Newton won the award in 2024.

Other finalists this year include Florida’s Walter Clayton, Marquette’s Kam Jones, Purdue’s Braden Smith and Tennessee’s Zakai Zeigler. The only SEC winner of the Cousy Award in its 21-year history is Kentucky’s Tyler Ulis, who took home the honor in 2016.

Sears and No. 7 Alabama (23-6, 12-4 SEC) host No. 5 Florida in their final home game of the season at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
