In a game in which they were tremendous underdogs, the Georgia Southern Women’s Basketball Team fought long and hard against Louisiana, and set out to prove they belonged in postseason play.
Their valiant efforts in the first round of the Sun Belt Tournament fell just short, as the Eagles lost a heartbreaker to the Ragin Cajuns.
The game swung back and forth, but after three overtimes, Louisiana came out on top 88-81. The loss on Tuesday night ended what was a short-lived postseason for the Eagles, who entered the tournament as the eleventh seed.
The defeat, although devastating for obvious reasons, finally marks the end of a long and frustrating 2017-2018 season for the Eagles.
