WEATHERFORD, Okla. – Tre Evans added 24 points to his single-season scoring record, but it was not enough to help his team past Ouachita as the Tigers defeated SWOSU 82-70 on Senior Day at the Pioneer Cellular Event Center.
 
SWOSU shot 34.4% from the field and hit just 8-of-31 (25.8%) three-point attempts in the game, while also struggling to 62.5% shooting at the free throw line.
 
The Bulldogs led twice in the early going until Ouachita's Kendarious Smith scored 24 of his game-high 34 points to help the Tigers take a 42-36 lead into the locker room. SWOSU got within five early in the second half and cut the deficit to eight on a three-pointer from Daniel Eibel with 2:50 to play, but Ouachita pushed it back up to double digits as they closed out the game.
 
SWOSU was upended despite the tremendous effort of Evans, who led the Bulldogs with 24 points, nine rebounds and five assists while playing 37 minutes. Daniel Eibel was the only other player in double figures, scoring 11 points in his final home game while Nick Shoemaker added two three-pointers to his school-record total.
 
Next up for the Bulldogs is a visit to Harding on Thursday evening, with tipoff set for 7:30 pm in Searcy, Arkansas.
