Eagles fall 90-85 to Panthers on Senior Day, earn three seed in conference tournament

The Georgia Southern men’s basketball team fell to in-state rival Georgia State, 90-85, in a crucial game Saturday night. This victory made GSU the regular season Sun Belt champions.

“We weren’t ourselves tonight,” Head Coach Mark Byington said. “We were really sloppy on turnovers tonight. We had a lot of mental mistakes. We were caught up in some things that weren’t important.”

In front of a sold out crowd at Hanner Fieldhouse, GS was led by junior forward Isaiah Crawley, 19 points and 10 rebounds, along with senior guard Tookie Brown who put up 19 points as well.
