With the 83-69 win against University of North Carolina at Greensboro, the Georgia Southern University men’s basketball team overcame its four-game losing streak against the Spartans.

The game was a part of one of the best turnaround seasons in Southern Conference history for the Eagles.

Last season UNCG took both games over the Eagles, but with a close margin in each game. With the Eagles motivated to end the streak, they dominated the Spartans in Saturday’s game.

GSU’s 10-game turnaround from last season to this season ranks as the fourth best comeback year in league history. With 11 wins more than last season’s total of one and two games left to play, the Eagles could finish this season as high as second in all-time turnarounds in the league.

To keep their winning streak going, the Eagles have two more games left to win before the SoCon tournament. GSU is currently ranked second in the standings, which will give the Eagles a chance to grab a first round bye in the SoCon tournament.

To lead the Eagles to victory in the final two games of the season, sophomore guard Eric Ferguson will have be a powerhouse player for GSU. Ferguson is currently ranked in the top-five in the SoCon in five different categories.

To finish out the season, the Eagles will face off against Davidson College who has been a powerhouse in the SoCon and will give GSU a fair fight. With the winning streak the Eagles currently hold, it is likely that they could win their final conference game of the season and propel themselves into the SoCon tournament as the team to beat.
