MBB Season Preview: Eagles Poised to Take Next Step
AJ Henderson / Georgia Southern
Georgia Southern opens the campaign Nov. 8.
STATESBORO – As the sleeper bus twisted and turned through the Kentucky mountains bound for Statesboro in the dead of night, Georgia Southern men’s basketball coach Brian Burg knew the payoff was coming. It might take a while, but it was coming.
The trip to Morehead State was one of 17 contests Georgia Southern played away from the friendly confines of Hanner Fieldhouse last season - all part of a plan - and the fruits of that labor will be reaped this season as Georgia Southern will host 16 contests, the most in 30 years.
