WKU Basketball: Evans, Slaughter Log Five Points Each as Drive Eliminated from The Basketball Tournament

Jeremy Evans and AJ Slaughter each scored five points as the Eberlein Drive fell to Florida TNT, 74–67, in the Wichita Region final, eliminating the Drive from The Basketball Tournament.

Slaughter had an off-night from the floor, going just 2-for-9, adding a rebound and an assist to his stat line. All five of Slaughter’s points came in the second half.

Evans also logged five rebounds, all but two came in the first quarter. He also didn’t score outside of the opening frame.

The Drive led by as many as 14 points with 2:14 to play in the third quarter (53–39) but were outscored 35–14 to end the game.

Florida TNT is off next weekend (the TBT breaks their games up by playing half of the regions at a time) but will return to the floor in the Championship Weekend, beginning July 31.
