Eagles are just 42 days from the 2013 season opener
STATESBORO, GA. – Georgia Southern Men's Basketball held its first practice of the 2013-14 campaign on Friday afternoon in Hanner Fieldhouse. The Eagles get an early start this year thanks to a new NCAA rule that allows teams 30 practices over the 42 days before the first regular season game. The Eagles open the 2013-14 season on November 8th against Columbia International in Hanner Fieldhouse at 7:30 p.m.
"The attitudes were great today," said Head Coach Mark Byington. "That was one of the things we wanted to control today. We made a lot of mistakes, but that is a typical first practice. The guys were really excited, the coaches were really excited, but one of the things I told the guys was to get better every day and that is a big goal for us."
Season tickets are now available for the 2013-14 season. Lower reserved seating for men's games starts at $90 with upper level general admission tickets available for $60 for the season. Georgia Southern University faculty and Staff receive a $10 discount on season tickets. In 2013-14, 13 home dates accent the schedule which brings Davidson, Elon, Wofford and Furman to Statesboro for the final time as conference opponents.
For more information about tickets, call the Georgia Southern Athletics Ticket Office at 1-800-GSU-WINS.
For the first time, fans will have the opportunity to purchase VIP courtside seats at the Home of the Eagles. With a very limited supply, these unique seats are going fast.
Fans can also "Donate a Ticket" for just $35 for the season. With each purchase, one ticket will be donated to a local youth organization for each contest, allowing local kids a chance to see Georgia Southern Basketball in person.
