Isaiah Evans - College Basketball News & Rumors

Leads Duke in scoring Tuesday Evans ended with 23 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound and one assist in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 75-60 victory over Texas.

Impact Even though the majority of the eyes were on Cameron Boozer, Evans posted a solid line across the board and ended up leading the Blue Devils in scoring. Evans had a strong freshman season in 2024-25 and is expected to embrace an even bigger role as a sophomore this time around. His involvement and usage rate in this season opener back that theory up.
