Postgame radio interview with Brian Burg
MOREHEAD, Ky. – Johni Broome tallied 15 points, 11 rebounds and six blocked shots to lead Morehead State to a 59-51 men's basketball win over Georgia Southern Wednesday night in Johnson Arena.
Eagles of the Game
Elijah McCadden finished the contest with 17 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals, and Gedi Juozapaitis made 3 of 6 from long distance for nine points to go along with four rebounds. Prince Toyambi collected eight points and seven rebounds, and Andrei Savrosov tallied eight points and four boards.
Key Moments
After a Prince Toyambi lay-in gave Georgia Southern a 35-34 lead 6:32 into the second half, Morehead State (5-3) took control of the game with a 21-5 run that featured five straight baskets by Broome, and MSU led 56-40 with 4:18 remaining. GS (4-3) went 2 for 10 from the field and committed four turnovers during the stretch.
Stats and Notes
- GS shot just two free throws in the game, a pair of McCadden makes with 13.4 seconds left. MSU went 4 for 12 from the charity stripe.
- It was Georgia Southern's first game against an Ohio Valley Conference opponent since the Eagles lost 63-59 at Eastern Kentucky Dec. 10, 2011. That was also the last time the Eagles played in Kentucky.
- It was the first time the Eagles have traveled to a game by plane since Georgia Southern played conference games at Texas State and UTA Feb. 20 and Feb. 22 in 2020.
- It was the first meeting between the schools.
Up Next
The Eagles have six days off before playing host to Carver College on Faith and Family Night Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. in Hanner Fieldhouse. It will be Georgia Southern's first home game since hosting Bob Jones Nov. 16, and the contest will be broadcast on ESPN+ and the GS Sports Network.
