Postgame radio interview with Brian Burg

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Ryan Larson scored 19 points, and Wofford forced 19 Georgia Southern turnovers en route to a 70-52 men's basketball victory over the Eagles in the Terrier Classic Sunday evening in Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium.

Eagles of the Game 
Andrei Savrasov finished with 10 points and five rebounds, and Prince Toyambi collected nine points and six boards.  

Key Moments
After Savrasov opened the second half with a 3-pointer, Wofford (4-1) used a 13-3 run, keyed by four points from Larson, to open a 42-30 cushion. The margin stayed in that range until Kaden Archie made a pair of free throws to cut it to 52-44 with 6:35 remaining. The Eagles (4-1) got a defensive stop, but Archie was whistled for an offensive foul at the other end. Larsen hit consecutive triples to push the margin back to 14 points with 5:07 to play, and the Terriers held the Eagles to one field goal for the final four minutes of the contest.

Stats and Notes
- Georgia Southern was held to a season-low 40 percent shooting from the floor.
- The Terriers scored 21 points off the Eagle turnovers and shot 47 percent for the game, including 50 percent in the second half.
- Wofford hit seven of its 10 3-pointers in the second half with Larson netting 4 of 5 from long distance.
