The Georgia Southern basketball team rebounded nicely from their worst conference loss since joining the Sun Belt Conference in 2014, as they knocked off South Alabama 62-49 to improve to 7-4 overall and 1-1 in conference play.On the heels of a 88-59 loss, Georgia Southern Coach Brian Burg was most frustrated with the way the Eagles played on the defensive side of the floor as the Jaguars shot over 50% from behind the three-point line, and 57% from the field. Saturday the Eagles held South Alabama to just 6-19 from three-point range, and 34% from the field.“It was a great bounce back win for us,” said Eagle Coach Brian Burg. “Credit to our players for having a short memory and putting last night’s loss behind us. Our players bought into the game plan and sat down and guarded.“Everyone knew after yesterday’s game we had to come out from the start and give our best,” said Eagle forward Andrei Savrasov. “We knew we needed to fight, and compete like we know we can, and that’s what we did today.”For the second straight game the Eagles didn’t exactly light it up from the field, but they did manage to shoot 40% and also outrebounded the Jags 40-33.“We didn’t shoot the ball well, but we found a way to defend, and play with our identity,” said Burg. “I think our guys were embarrassed last night and were looking forward to a chance at 40 more minutes to show what we are really about.”While the Eagles dug themselves a hole Friday night, they jumped out to an early 8-0 lead on Saturday on a three-pointer by Elijah McCadden.
