Good morning. Happy National Stuffing Day! Who else can’t wait to eat all of the delicious Thanksgiving food on Thursday?

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

🏀 Men go 1-1
🏀 Women fall to No. 15/10 Ohio
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Even Steven. The men’s basketball team evened out its standing in the TowneBank Holiday Classic with a win over Georgia Southern. The Pirates are now 1-1 going into the last game tomorrow against Kennesaw State. Quentin Diboundje scored a career-high 27 points on 7-10 shooting from behind the arc. RJ Felton was right behind with 19 points, and Brandon Johnson recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

🔼 First Day Out. The women’s basketball team is in the Bahamas playing in the Baja Mar Pink Flamingo Championship and started off the trip with a tough match against No. 15/10 Ohio State. The Pirates scored the most points in the second period with 21, but it wasn’t enough to catch up to the Buckeyes. In a 79-55 loss, Synia Johnson led the team with 14 points, and Amiya Joyner had 12. Tomorrow, the Pirates take on Seton Hall at 11 a.m. ET.
