After a season full of mountains and valleys, the Georgia Southern men’s basketball team finished tied for fourth seed in the conference, which is the worst finish since the 2015-2016 season, accompanied by a 20-13 overall record. GS seemed to be on a roll during postseason play, but their run for a title was cut short due to COVID-19.

With a bulk of offensive talent graduating in May, though the NCAA is discussing the possibility of granting an extra season of eligibility due to COVID-19, GS could be saying goodbye to many key playmakers including Isaiah Crawley, David Lee-Jones, Ike Smith and Simeon Carter.
