South Alabama continued its early dominance of Sun Belt Conference play with a 76-47 victory at Georgia Southern on Saturday.

The Jaguars improve to 11-4 overall, 3-0 in the Sun Belt. South Alabama has won its first three Sun Belt games by 28, 26 and 29 points, and swept its two-game trip to Georgia State and Georgia Southern for the first time since the Eagles joined the conference 10 years ago.

On Saturday, South Alabama burst out to leads of 12-0 and 26-3 as the Eagles (8-7, 1-2) missed their first 11 shots and turned the ball over 11 times in the first half. The Jaguars led 38-18 at halftime and by as many as 34 in the final five minutes of the game.

South Alabama got a balanced offensive effort, with John Broom, Myles Corey and Judah Brown all tying for the team lead with 11 points and Barry Dunning chipping in 10. Broom had a solid all-around game, adding seven rebounds, four steals and a blocked shot.

Cantia Rahming had eight points and a team-best 11 rebounds and four assists in 22 minutes off the bench for the Jaguars, who were without starting forward Randy Brady, sidelined by a foot injury suffered at Georgia State on Thursday. JJ Wheat scored nine points, while Elijah Ormiston — who started in Brady’s place — had seven points and five rebounds.

South Alabama’s Sun Belt-best defense locked up Georgia Southern all night, forcing 22 turnovers and collecting 13 steals. The Eagles came into the game 6-0 at home and leading the conference in scoring at 75.5 points per game, but shot just 33.3% from the field, 25.8% from 3-point range and 46.7% from the free-throw line on Saturday.

Braylhan Thomas was the only Georgia Southern player in double-figures scoring with 11 points. Bradley Douglas, who scored 30 points in a win over Louisiana-Monroe on Thursday, had only four in 31 minutes on Saturday.

South Alabama is 3-0 in Sun Belt play for the first time since 2012-13, when it finished 14-6 in the conference and played in the CollegeInsiders.com Tournament at season’s end. The Jaguars’ best league finish in six seasons under coach Richie Riley is 13-7 in 2020.

South Alabama is home for its next four games, including a battle with preseason Sun Belt favorite Arkansas State at 7 p.m. Thursday. The Red Wolves were 11-3 overall and 2-0 in the conference heading into Saturday’s game at James Madison.
