I'm not excusing Evans, but at least he didn't attempt a shot in the last 5 minutes of regulation or overtime. Jackson was 3-14, with horrible turnovers down the stretch. Absolutely inexcusable.
That's part of why playing Evans hurts the team so much. The team is desperate for offense because they don't have a PG and have to look to Jackson to score when they're stuck with Bruiser/Evans on the floor. With Berggren struggling from the outside, the Badgers only consistent offense is Brust/Dekker from the outside. Teams are starting to realize that though and are keying in on those two.
This is really just Bo defaulting to defense though.
Late in close games, Evans free throw shooting is such a liability, his defense IMO isn't good enough over Dekker to keep Evans on the court. Mix in his often bad shot selection and turnovers, i cringe every time Evans touches the ball inside 5 minutes of close games.
