The Game
Georgia Southern opens the Mark Byington Era on Friday night against Columbia International inside Hanner Fieldhouse. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
Pregame Festivities
Prior to the contest, Georgia Southern's very own Southern Pride Marching Band will perform on the Hanner Fieldhouse court in a special concert which starts at 5:30 p.m. Fans coming to the concert can take advantage of special $1 early admission tickets which will be available from 5:15 through 5:45 p.m.
The Broadcast
Chris Blair and Frank Kerns will be courtside to bring fans all the action across both the Georgia Southern Radio Network by Nelligan Sports and GS All-Access video stream. Fans can purchase their subscription to GS All-Access by going to GSEagles.com/showcase.
The Coach
Mark Byington begins his tenure at Georgia Southern tonight and looks to improve on his 7-4 career record as a head coach. The former top-assistant at College of Charleston, Byington was picked to succeed legendary coach Bobby Cremins for the final 11 games of the 2011-12 season after Cremins took a leave of absence. Byington went 7-4 in those games. That tenure featured a pair of three-game win streaks and a victory over Kent State in the ESPN Bracketbusters matchup with the Golden Flashes.
The Weather
It is expected to be a crisp fall day with a high of 66 on tap. Fans should bring their jackets with evening temperatures expected to fall to the low 40's.
Up Next
Following Friday's game the Eagles will have a quick turnaround for Monday's trip to face the defending ACC Champion Miami Hurricanes. Tipoff at the BankUnited Center is set for 7 p.m. The game can be seen live on ESPN3 and heard live across the Georgia Southern Radio Network by Nelligan Sports and online at GSEagles.com.
