The Georgia Southern men’s basketball team will be traveling to Atlanta Saturday to take on rival Georgia State while looking to claim a win in the rival series and to improve their current conference record of 5-3.

The last time the two teams met the Panthers knocked the Eagles out of conference playoffs with a 73-67 win and the Eagles are looking for redemption.

The Eagles look to be ready as this season has proved to be impressive. The team collectively shoots an average of 49.8 percent from the floor and average 31.5 percent on three-pointers.

Senior guard Tookie Brown is obviously one solid Eagle that continues to lead GS with his 353 total points on the season and his field goal percentage of 49.
