Evans Scores 24, UC Irvine Takes Down North Dakota State 74-73

Evans scored 24 points on 11-of-12 shooting to lead UC Irvine in a one-point win over North Dakota State, who missed key shots in the final minute, snapping their five-game streak.

  • On Sunday in El Paso, UC Irvine men's basketball team beat North Dakota State Bison 74-73 at the WestStar Don Haskins Sun Bowl Invitational, leading 40-33 at halftime.
  • In the final minute, missed attempts and a buzzer heave decided the game as the Bison missed multiple potential go-ahead shots and Andy Stefonowicz’s half-court heave fell short.
  • By the numbers, the Bison relied on efficient looks and free throws, making 27 of 58 shots with Damari Wheeler-Thomas and Markhi Strickland each scoring 14 points.
  • The loss snapped NDSU’s five-game run as the Bison had their five-game winning streak snapped and now face either Norfolk State or UT El Paso on Monday night.
  • Three-Point shooting shows how Irvine spaced the floor, making 6 of 17 with Jester 2-of-3 and Dixon 2-of-6, while total fouls were 16 and 18.
