Georgia Southern showed some effort, collecting twelve offensive rebounds, but it just was not enough. They simply could not contain the Bulls offense, which shot 61% from the field. In fact, every single starter made at least fifty percent of their shots.
Ironically, they would have been better off fouling. The Bulls shot only 50% from the free throw line. The Eagles defense will have to do a better job than allowing their opponents to 61% shooting.
All that negativity aside, Powers showed why he is one of the best players in the SoCon. He scored 14 points, with eight rebounds and six assists. He is clearly one of the best players in the conference and will be a tough player for any team to contend with.
The Eagles will be fine, but were outclassed by their Big East opponent tonight. They will be an OK team in the SoCon, but need to advance on both defense and offense to be a real threat to go far in the tournament. They are putting the effort in, which is good to see.
