Georgia Southern forward Rory Spencer expresses his frustration as the Eagles fall behind against South Alabama in the second half Saturday at Hanner Fieldhouse.
Georgia Southern jumped out to a big first half lead but couldn’t hold on as South Alabama came storming back to take a 68-58 victory Saturday afternoon at Hanner Fieldhouse. The Eagles (3-9) built an advantage that stretched as far as 39-24 just before halftime, but a 14-0 run by the Jaguars (4-5) got them right back into the game and South Alabama outscored GSU 42-19 in the second half to win going away. "It all comes down to defense and rebounding," said GSU coach Charlton Young.
