Mocs head coach John Shulman calls his team in during a timeout. The Mocs defeated the Tigers 65-63 Friday night at McKenzie Arena.One program has expectations of winning a Southern Conference championship. The other has dreams of winnings of winning more than one Southern Conference game.
They both need a win — soon.
Either the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga will halt a surprising early-season skid and return confidence to a veteran squad.
Or Georgia Southern’s fledglings will earn an early SoCon victory that could boost their confidence and unlock the gates that restricted them last season when the Mocs face the Eagles tonight in Hanner Fieldhouse at 7 p.m.
“Last year, my entire team was young, scared cats,” GSU coach Charlton Young said. “We’re growing. All we need is that one big win to get the confidence. Once we get that first one, we’ll take off.”
