Congrats Bill Evans on 200th win as SUU head coach
I just wanted to congratulate Bill Evans, Utah's longest tenured NCAA coach, for his 200th win as head coach of Southern Utah.
Evans earned the win on Saturday night, when the T-Birds topped in-state rival Weber State for a 75-63 victory at the Centrum Arena.
SUU looked really good tonight, and at 7-3 they have the second best record in the state behind Utah State's 8-1 mark.
The T-Birds have no guaranteed a winning record for their preseason. Not a bad turnaround from last year's 1-11 mark.
Steve Barnes was impressive again, matching his career-high with 24 points. The T-Birds built a 12-point halftime behind 11 second-chance points. They then sealed the game by hitting an impressive 27 of their 32 free throws.
It was also the biggest crowd the T-Birds have had in nearly two years, as SUU drew 4,036 fans. I feel the community is starting to get behind this team. The crowd was loud and raucous, celebrating the victory as Justin Allen threw down a statement dunk at the end of the game.

I too want to congrats the coach. I thought they played very well on this night and have been this season. If they can continue, and get better, they will surprise teams in the conference. Bares is playing super and some of the other players really stepped it up on this night especially Swaney Cooper, he was a big key.
