Eagles face Auburn
AUBURN
Auburn and Georgia Southern have a lot in common. Both teams have had their share of struggles in the early part of the basketball season, but as they prepare to face off today at Auburn, Ala. at 8 p.m., they both entered Christmas break on a high note. The Eagles (4-9) got their first Division I win in the form of a 74-72, overtime thriller against Georgia State Dec. 22 in Hanner Fieldhouse, and the Tigers (4-7), who have fallen to Samford, Jacksonville, Campbell, UNC Asheville and Presbyterian at home this season, snapped a three-game losing streak with a 68-54 win over USC Upstate.
