What you should know
After two away games, La. Tech back home. They will welcome the Georgia Southern Eagles to the Thomas Assembly Center on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Bulldogs have some offensive power and have averaged 78.8 points per game this season.
If Georgia Southern goes into halftime tied, they better play a good second half: That's when La. Tech took over last week. La. Tech defeated Louisiana by a score of 69-58 on Sunday.
Several players had solid performances and led La. Tech to the win, but perhaps none more so than Daniel Batcho, who posted a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Meanwhile, it's always nice to win, but it's even better to do so behind a season-high score (just ask Georgia Southern). They had just enough, defeating North Florida 93-91. After predicting a narrow win for the Eagles, the oddsmakers were spot on.
Georgia Southern worked as a unit and finished the game with 23 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
The victory of La. Tech increased their record to 8-2. It was Georgia Southern's sixth straight home win since last season, improving its record to 6-4.
Keep an eye on the arch during Friday's competition: La. Tech has thrived from deep this season, making 37.2% of its three-pointers per game. Things are different for Georgia Southern, however, as they have only made 31.7% of their three-pointers this season. Given La.'s significant advantage. Tech in this area, Georgia Southern needs to find a way to close that gap.
