Eagles no problem for Furman

Furman's Darryl Evans, center, looks for help as Georgia Southern defenders Rory Spencer, left, and Jelani Hewitt apply a half-court trap in first half play Saturday at Hanner Fieldhouse.
Once again, Georgia Southern dug out of a huge halftime hole, but once again couldn’t pull out an elusive Southern Conference win. Furman led 42-23 at halftime and the Eagles closed the gap to 60-54 with more than five minutes remaining, but the Paladins slammed the door on the run and left Hanner Fieldhouse with a 74-56 win Saturday afternoon. “Our young pups are playing better,” said GSU coach Charlton Young.
