It was an odd, yet encouraging moment.
After his team put together a much-needed stop on defense, Shannon Evans immediately ran to the left sideline. He threw his hands in the air, encouraging the Wells Fargo Arena crowd to get loud and rowdy.
The Sun Devils were down 11, yet Evans was as energetic as ever. With Oregon State putting together a 13-3 run over a span of 2:42, it was just hard to get excited over a small victory on defense. A few stood people stood, but most sat down at Evans’ request.
He took that as a personal challenge.
