They enter the spring semester at 5-9 overall (1-3 Sun Belt) after just winning their first conference game in overtime against the Troy Trojans 93-88.
“Now that we can get back as we understand how hard we have to practice and everything else, it helps the guys and when you win a game there’s more enthusiasm in getting back to work” said head coach Mark Byington.
The Eagles are currently ranked 9th out of 11 teams in the conference as they need to at least be in the top eight in order to make it in the Sun Belt tournament and have a chance to place a bid in the NCAA tournament.
