Alabama star Mark Sears' mom goes viral during March Madness tournament game

The mother of Alabama Crimson Tide guard Mark Sears went viral during the team’s round of 32 matchup against Charleston on Friday night.

Lameka Sears was in the stands in Spokane, Washington, and was seen on the broadcast imitating her son as he was at the free-throw line. She was wearing an Alabama-centric March Madness sweater as well and had been standing up for most of the first half.

Lameka Sears told reporters before the game that if she "didn’t give it her all, how can I expect him to?"

Mark Sears added that it was a "blessing" to have his mom support him the way she does.

"It’s a blessing because not too many people can be in that type of situation," he told the Tuscaloosa News. "To have my mom be there to support me every game, it’s something that I’m always going to be grateful for."
