SWAC MEN
JACKSON STATE 89, UAPB 84
Ken Evans hit seven three-pointers and scored a game-high 37 points as Jackson State (14-16, 10-7 Southwestern Athletic Conference) held off a spirited rally by the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff to win at the Lee E. Williams Athletics and Assembly Center in Jackson, Miss.
Chase Adams added 10 points off the bench for the Tigers, who held a 68-52 lead with less than 14 minutes remaining. But UAPB (13-17, 8-9) went on a massive run and got within 87-84 with 1:50 to go following a three-pointer from Lonnell Martin Jr.
The Golden Lions had several opportunities to either cut their deficit to one or tie the game but missed shots on three consecutive possessions over the final minute.
