The Georgia Southern Eagles gave the Maryland Terrapins something to think about in the first half, but faded down the stretch, falling 70-53 on Saturday night in College Park, Md.

Charles Mitchell led the Terps with 13 points. Logan Aronhalt shot 4-4 from three point range, his only four shots of the game, to finish with 12 points. Nick Faust had 11 points, and Alex Len finished with 10. Maryland shot 49% from the floor as a team, but only 31% from three point range.

C.J. Reed led Georgia Southern with 15 points, but shot only 6-15 from the floor. Poor shooting was a theme for the entire Eagles roster, who shot only 33% from the floor as a team.
