0:00On March 21st, here's the latest out of Durham. Duke's top-seated basketball team moved on in the NCAA tournament after a comeback win over Siena and sophomore Guard Isaiah Evans played a big role in turning things around. The Blue Devils trailed by 11 at halftime but pulled out a 71-65 victory on Thursday. Now they face TCU in the second round on Saturday at 5.15 pm on CBS. Evans stepped up in the second half against Siena, driving to the basket for a dunk and a layup before hitting a three-pointer. His coach praised diversity, saying it draws defenders and opens up the floor. As a starter averaging nearly 15 points per game, Evans is showing more all around play this year. From the Charlotte area, originally Fayetteville, Evans starred in North Mecklenburg High as a five-star recruit before joining Duke. He chose to return for his sophomore season instead of entering the NBA draft right away, and fans back home are rooting hard for him and the team. Coaches want Evans crashing the boards more, where he averages just over three rebounds
