WIEDEMAN NEARING 1,000
Trent Wiedeman joined Georgia Southern with 893 career points after three seasons at College of Charleston. He has opened this season with 14.5 points per game and needs just 20 more points to reach 1,000 career points.
HEWITT MOVES INTO TOP-20
In the Eagles' loss to UCF on December 2nd, Jelani Hewitt moved into the top-20 in career scoring at Georgia Southern. He now sits in a tie for 18th with 1,393 career points.
BUSSEY EARNS SPOT IN NBADL
Former Eagle Tre Bussey was named to the NBADL's Idaho Stampede recently. Bussey was picked in the first round of the NBADL draft. Through the season's first eight games, Bussey has scored 10.1 ppg with two games started. He is also shooting 37% from downtown.
EAGLES COMMIT TO REBOUNDING
Georgia Southern has made a commitment to rebounding this year and won the battle of the glass in four of the first five games. The Eagles out-rebounded Illinois by nine and FIU by seven despite being undersized in both games.
THE COACH
Head Coach Mark Byington enters this game with a 26-25 career record as in his second season with the Eagles.
THE WEATHER
Monday's conditions should be picture perfect with a high of 71 degrees under severe clear skies in the Bay Area.
UP NEXT
Georgia Southern will stay on the road before a Thursday night game against Stetson. The Eagles face the Hatters at 7 p.m. in another game on ESPN3.
