Graduate guard Tyren Moore leads the Eagles with 17 made three-pointers and is tied for third in the Sun Belt Conference.
• Averaging 85.5 points per game, the Eagles have one of the most explosive offenses in the Sun Belt Conference, posting the third-highest points per game average. Georgia Southern dropped below 90 points per game for the first time this season, after being held to 66 and 72 points respectively against two ACC opponents. The Eagles trail Troy (90.3) and Marshall (87.0) as the only two teams averaging more points per game this season in the Sun Belt. On Friday against Johnson C. Smith, the Eagles scored 98 points, the most under head coach Charlie Henry. 
• Graduate guard Tyren Moore has produced 1,170 career points in his four seasons in Division I. Entering Monday's game against Youngstown State, Moore sits with 932 points in a Georgia Southern uniform. Moore looks to become the 47th Eagle all-time to collect 1,000 points with Georgia Southern.
• Senior forward Shainen Carter produced a season-high 14 points on 3-of-3 shooting and a perfect 8-for-8 from the free-throw line. The Detroit, Michigan, native added three rebounds, tallied two blocks, and one steal in Friday's loss, but was one of five Eagles to hit all their free throws against the Seminoles.
