UNC Postgame Notes

Jawun Evans was once again electric for Oklahoma State. The Bob Cousy Award and Naismith Trophy watch list selection had his eighth career 20-point game by halftime, and ended the night with 30 points. It was his fourth career 30-point game (third this season) and his second in two games in Maui.
Evans had 20 points on 9-of-16 shooting at the half. The rest of the OSU roster combined for 18 points and 4-of-21 (.190) shooting.
The Cowboys suffered their first defeat of the young season at the hands of the No. 4/4 North Carolina Tar Heels. The all-time series between OSU and UNC is now tied at 1-1, with the only other appearance coming in the 1946 NCAA championship game. Then Oklahoma A&M took down North Carolina, 43-40, to win the title in Madison Square Garden.
OSU allowed an opponent to reach the 100-point mark for just the 21st time in school history. North Carolina's point total of 107 is tied for the eighth most allowed by an OSU squad and the 32-point margin is also tied for the eighth largest in OSU history.
Brad Underwood suffered his first defeat as the head coach at OSU. He is now 93-15 in four seasons as a head coach, and his .861 win percentage is tops among all active Division I coaches.
Oklahoma State entered Tuesday's contest with the nation's third ranked scoring offense with an average of 104.8 points per game. OSU had scored over 100 points in each of its first three games, and reached 98 points against UConn in the Maui Invite opener.
OSU is now 21-45 (.318) against teams ranked in the top four of the AP poll.
The Cowboys are 16-21 all-time against current members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Cowboys have gone with the same starting lineup in each of the last four games: Evans, Forte, Waters, Hammonds and Solomon.
OSU has made at least one three-pointer in 520 consecutive games dating back to Jan. 13, 2001.
