Tiffany Evans
Evans saved her best performance of the year for last.
In her final collegiate game at TCU, she recorded a career-high
22 points against the Lady Bulldogs of Georgia. Her effort
was not enough to lead the No. 6-seeded Lady Frogs over
No. 3-seeded Georgia and into the Sweet 16 for the first
time in program history. For the night, Evans also grabbed
four rebounds and connected on 8-of-9 free-throws.
The senior forward provided a great lift off the bench
for the Lady Frogs all night. And her great performance
couldn’t have come at a better time, because junior
forward Sandora Irvin was forced to the bench early in
the first half after committing two early fouls. But thanks
to Evans’ hot shooting the Frogs were able to hang
in against the Lady Bulldogs. Even though they fell behind
by double digits in Irvin’s absence, Evans was able
to keep the Lady Frogs from getting blown out of the gym.
Whenever the Lady Frogs needed a basket Monday night they
looked for No. 23. And if a teammate found her beyond
the 3-point line, Evans was ready to make the Lady Bulldogs
pay. She found her stroke early and often, hitting on
4-of-6 3-pointers. Two of Evans’ 3-pointers came
during TCU’s 10-0 run, which saw the Lady Frogs erase
an 18-point deficit and get the Georgia lead under double
digits. |
