Georgia Southern traveled to the Carolinas where they would look to keep only 1-loss in Sun Belt play. In two close battles, the Eagles returned to Statesboro unscathed.

Coastal Carolina: 77-66

The weekend began Thursday in Conway, South Carolina for their matchup against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, who were 7-10 at the time.

Both teams played well to start the game, trading baskets early on. Halfway through the first half, the Eagles led 15-14, aided by an Ike Smith three ball.
