Brenden Evans and Donte Williams each scored 13 points to lead the Utah Valley University men's basketball team in a 65-44 setback to Chicago State on Saturday at the Jones Convocation Center.
Chicago State improves to 8-22 overall and 4-9 in WAC play. Utah Valley falls to 10-18 overall and 4-9 in league play.
"Chicago State played with tremendous energy," Utah Valley head coach Dick Hunsaker said. "They did a great job in their traps and zone pressure against us. We obviously have to do a better job of handling the ball and get better prepared for senior night on Saturday."
Evans scored his 13 points on a 6-of-8 shooting performance from the field and a 1-for-1 mark at the charity stripe. Williams tallied his 13 points on a 4-of-15 clip from the field, including three made shots from beyond the arc.
Mitch Bruneel scored six points and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds. Zach Nelson recorded seven rebounds with four points, four assists, two steals and a block.
Clarke Rosenberg led Chicago State with a game-high 26 points, while Sean Hill added 17 for the Cougars.
Utah Valley wraps up regular season play on Saturday, March 7, at home against Bakersfield at the UCCU Center. UVU's three seniors will be honored prior to tipoff, which is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. MT.
