BOSTON — Contrary to how it may have sounded, it wasn?t ?Rip On Ryan Evans Day? Wednesday afternoon at TD Garden. Greg Gard, the associate head coach for the University of Wisconsin men?s basketball team, was actually dishing out a compliment when he had this to say about junior forward Ryan Evans: ?He?s persistently stubborn at times,? Gard said. Not only did Evans agree with that description, he took it one step further. ?It?s stubbornness (and) arrogance,? he said.
