LAFAYETTE, La. – Tookie Brown scored a season-high 32 points, and the Eagles shot 52 percent and made 11 3-pointers to post a 103-86 Sun Belt men's basketball victory over Louisiana Wednesday night in the Cajundome.

Eagles of the Game
Brown made four triples and 10 of 13 from the free-throw line for the sixth 30-point game in his career and first this season. Quan Jackson scored 23, David-Lee Jones Jr. netted 15 and Isaiah Crawley tallied 13.

Key moments
Georgia Southern (14-9, 6-4) used a 15-2 run in the first half to build a 51-38 cushion at the break behind 18 points from Brown. Louisiana (13-10, 4-6) scored eight points in two possessions to trim the margin to 14 with 14:53 remaining.  The Eagles answered by scoring four straight points and six of the next eight out of a timeout to push the margin back to 18. 

A 9-2 run, sparked by five points from Jackson and a nifty spin move into the lane for a layup by Jones Jr., gave the Eagles their biggest lead at 96-71 with 4:51 to go.
