MONROE, La. – Cam Bryant tallied 12 points, eight rebounds and a key steal late, and Georgia Southern held ULM to 30 percent shooting from the field to grind out a 50-45 Sun Belt men's basketball win over ULM Thursday night in Fant-Ewing Coliseum.

Eagles of the Game 
Gedi Juozapaitis collected seven points, three rebounds and three steals, and Tre Cobbs finished with seven points, a career-high eight rebounds, three assists and two steals. Kaden Archie tallied six points, five rebounds and three steals, and Grant Weatherford chipped in six points, six rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots.

Key Moments 
Georgia Southern (9-9, 2-5) trailed 43-40 with 4:50 left but outscored the Warhawks 10-2 the rest of the way while holding ULM without a field goal (0 for 5) and forcing three turnovers.

Archie got the run started with a layup and then Cobbs found Bryant for a 3-pointer from the wing and a 45-43 lead with 3:01 to play. Bryant secured a rebound off a Russell Harrison (17 points, 13 rebounds) missed jumper, and the Eagles were able to erase a minute off the clock, thanks to offensive rebounds by Andrei Savrasov and Cobbs. 

The Warhawks (10-11, 2-7) finally got the ball back down two with 1:20 to go, but Bryant stole a pass and after an Eagle timeout, Savrasov buried a triple from the wing for a 48-43 cushion with 46 seconds left. 

Stats and Notes
- GS held ULM to 18 of 61 from the field (29.5 percent), the second-lowest shooting percentage for a Division I opponent this season.
- It was the fifth time this season that the Eagles have been able to dress their full rotation (4-1). 
- It was Georgia Southern's first Sun Belt road win this year.

Up Next
The Eagles are scheduled to travel to Louisiana for an 8 p.m. ET tipoff Saturday. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and the GS Sports Network.
