By Evans’ own admission, the whole night left him with an emotional feeling. As Sanchez made his way into the post-game interview room, Evans related how his junior point guard helped him handle the moments.
“I told everybody it was going to be emotional,” Evans said. “I’m a crier. I cry a lot. Tomas came over, gave me a hug and said ‘we’re going to get this one for you.’ I started bawling a little bit.”
