As a basketball coach, Paul Evans won at Navy then won at Pittsburgh, too. In fact, he made multiple trips to the NCAA Tournament with both schools.
But when those two teams meet Friday night in the second game of the fourth annual Veterans Classic at Alumni Hall, Evans made it clear where his loyalties lie.
When asked which team he’d be rooting for, he replied, “Navy, for sure.”
The Navy-Pittsburgh game is slated to tip off at about 9 p.m. The first game of the doubleheader, which will pit Alabama against Memphis, is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.
