NCAA PRINCIPLE OF SPORTING BEHAVIOR AND ETHICAL CONDUCTFor intercollegiate athletics to promote the character development of partici-pants, to enhance the integrity of higher education and to promote civility in society, student-athletes, coaches, and all others associated with these athletics programs and events should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fair-ness, civility, honesty and responsibility. These values should be manifest not only in athletics participation, but also in the broad spectrum of activities affecting the athletics program.

MARK P. BECKERMARK P. BECKER

Under his leadership, the university adopted a comprehensive 10-year strategic plan aimed at making Georgia State one of the nation’s premier urban research universities. With a 10 percent increase in graduation rates in the last fi ve years, Georgia State is achieving its vision of becoming a national model for undergraduate education by demonstrating that students of all backgrounds can succeed at high rates. Th e university has been recognized by the Education Trust for eliminating disparities in graduation rates based on race or ethnicity. Diverse Issues in Higher Education places Georgia State No. 1 in the nation among non-profi t institutions in graduating African-American students and in the top 50 universities for graduating Asian-Americans. Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education magazine lists Georgia State as a top 100 university for graduating Hispanics, making the university one of only two non-Florida universities in the Southeast to attain this achievement. During Becker’s tenure Georgia State has set a series of university records for retention and graduation rates, as well as for the retention of the Georgia Lottery-funded HOPE Scholarship. Th is progress has been achieved as enrollment has grown from about 28,000 to more than 32,000 students, and the number of applications to the university has steadily risen and now exceeds 13,000. Private scholarship funding has increased signifi cantly, and the university has more than doubled the number of students receiving support in the last two years. Research funding is at an all-time high, increasing nearly 15 percent in the last year alone. Federally sponsored research now accounts for 62 percent of the university’s research portfolio, an important barometer of the university’s research success. Th is growth has been aided by the Second Century Initiative, a faculty hiring program that has led to the development of new interdisciplinary research centers.

Seeking to position Georgia State students and researchers to thrive in an increasingly complex and global landscape, Becker has worked with faculty leaders to enhance Georgia State’s international profi le. Th e university is working in fi ve countries in which it is focusing its university-wide eff orts: Brazil, China, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey. Th rough its campus development, Georgia State is a major contributor to the revitalization of downtown Atlanta. Building on the work of former President Carl V. Patton, the university has expanded campus housing and dining, research and academic facilities. Georgia State enhanced its research capacity with the opening of the Parker H. “Pete” Petit Science Center in 2009 and is designing and building a second research building on the same site. Th e university enlarged its instructional capacity with a classroom expansion project completed in 2011. Student housing has almost doubled with the addition of Patton Hall, a Greek townhome complex, and the Piedmont North housing and dining complex. Th e opening of the $10 million football practice facility enabled Georgia State to introduce its football program in fall 2010. Th e purchase of 3.5 acres of land on the eastern edge of the campus has made it possible for the university to have its fi rst intramural recreation fi elds on its downtown campus. Th e Sun Trust tower complex at 25 Park Place houses major units of the College of Arts and Sciences and the expanded university advising center. Th e university has a new front door for visitors with the opening last year of Centennial Hall at 100 Auburn Ave. Th e building houses Georgia State’s Welcome Center, university administration and the recently established Honors College. A new Law School building is nearing completion, and the university has acquired 55 Park Place, a high-rise building that will be the new home of the Robinson College of Business and the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.

Assuring that Georgia State is appropriately partnered in Atlanta and beyond, Becker serves on multiple civic, community and professional boards. Becker and his wife, Laura Voisinet, are signifi cant contributors to the university. Th ey are focusing their philanthropy primarily on scholarships for students but also support the university’s Library, the Rialto Center for the Arts and Georgia State’s Women’s Philanthropy Initiative. Prior to his appointment as president of Georgia State, Becker was executive vice president for academic aff airs and provost at the University of South Carolina. Before assuming that role, Becker spent three years at the University of Minnesota as a biostatistics professor, dean of the School of Public Health and assistant vice president of Public Health, Preparedness and Emergency Response. From 1989 to 2000, Becker was a professor and associate dean for academic aff airs at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. He also has held academic appointments at the University of Washington, the University of Florida and Cornell University. Becker earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Towson State University in 1980, and his doctor’s degree in statistics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1985. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Towson State and Penn State have recognized him with distinguished alumnus awards. Becker grew up in Havre de Grace, Md., near Baltimore. He and his wife have two adult children, Matthew and Julia.

SINCE BEGINNING HIS TENURE as Georgia State University’s seventh

president in January 2009, President Mark P. Becker has led the institution

through a dynamic period of major growth and advancement.

At Cobb’s introductory press conference, Becker noted the need for Georgia State to fi nd a proven winner, someone who has built a winning program “the right way.” Becker said Cobb even took it a step further. “In fact, we got a bonus in this package. Not only is he a proven builder and proven winner with a track record of doing it in the right way, but he also has tremendous Atlanta roots,” Becker said. “He knows this community well, has worked in this city, knows what we are doing and the potential we have in this program.” Aft er spending nine years as Director of Athletics at Appalachian State, Cobb is making a return to Atlanta. Previously he worked for six years honing his business acumen with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome, before his fi rst venture into college athletics as an administrator at his alma mater NC State. Cobb came to the Panthers at the perfect time with several signifi cant

athletic building projects on the horizon. High among the Panthers’ facility priorities are: a weight room at the football practice facility; a new basketball and volleyball practice facility; a dedicated academic performance center; and the University’s concept for redeveloping Turner Field into a mixed-use area inclusive of sporting venues. Cobb has led successful programs by focusing on four pillars of his leadership philosophy:

1) relationships matter2) achieve success3) be innovative4) create traditions

Th ose ideals helped him build and maintain a high-performing program at App State. Th e Mountaineers: won three consecutive Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national championships, the fi rst three-peat in FCS history. Th ey also brought home eight consecutive Commissioner’s

Cup championships (top men’s sports program in the Southern Conference) and four Germann Cup championships (top women’s program). Together, they earned the men’s and women’s awards in the same academic year four times. At App State, Cobb helped create $50 million in facilities improvements as the Mountaineers’ fundraising eff orts that reached all-time highs, including surpassing the $3 million mark. Th e jewel of the construction projects was the seven-story Appalachian Athletics Center and the campaign also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball, soft ball and soccer, as well as a new indoor practice facility. Th e 46-year-old Cobb was a four-year letterwinner as a football player at NC State. He graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1990 and earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio in 1992. As a senior center, he was named to the All-ACC second team and was an All-ACC academic selection. Cobb and his wife, Lindsay, have a son and daughter, 16-year-old Harrison and 13-year-old Branan. Lindsay Cobb was an All-ACC goalkeeper for the NC State women’s soccer team from 1988-90.

580 AND COUNTING

Georgia State has made at least one 3-point fi eld goal in 580 straight games, dating back to the 1994-95 season. Th e last team to hold the Panthers without a trey was Stetson on Feb. 18, 1995.

DEFENDING CHAMPS!

In its fi rst year back in the Sun Belt Conference, Georgia State easily won the regular-season title with an impressive 17-1 conference mark. Th e title was the Panthers’ fi rst since the 2001-02 season. Th e Panthers fi nished the season 25-9 and advanced to the Postseason NIT. During the year, Georgia State won a school-record 14-straight games and had a stretch of 22 wins in 23 games.

SCORING RECORD IN JEOPARDY

In just his fi rst two seaons, junior R.J. Hunter put together two of the most impressive scoring output seasons in program history. During his sophomore season he reached the 1,000-point pla-teau in just 55 games, the second quickest in program history. Th is season he has his eyes set on Georgia State’s all-time scor-ing record of 1,515 points held by Rodney Hamilton. Hunter is currently 13th on the all-time scoring list with 1,131 points, meaning he is just 384 points shy of the mark. Last season he scored 604 points, tied for the fourth most in a single-season in program history. Th e junior was a part of a squad with four 1,000-point scor-ers, one of just three programs in the nation to state that fact in 2013-14.

SUMMER BASKETBALL IN COSTA RICA

Georgia State travelled to Costa Rica in August to deliver shoes and hope to children in need, while also getting in some basketball practice and game action. Th e Panthers travelled to the Central American country for eight days this past August and played four games against club teams in the country of 4.7 million people. While there, the group also participated in several shoe distributions through Samaritan’s Feet. It marked the second trip as a team under head coach Ron Hunter to work with the organization. Two years ago the Panthers went to South Africa. For the last seven years, Hunter has coached one game a year in barefeet to raise awareness for Samaritan’s Feet. Th e game is generally played around the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday as a part of the national day of service. Samaritan’s Feet is an organization that provides shoes for underpriviledged children around the world. Th eir goal is to provide 10 million children with 10 million pairs of shoes in 10 years.

In just his fi rst three seasons at the helm of the Georgia State program, Ron Hunter has restored it to national prominence, averaging more than 20 wins per year and making a pair of postseason appearances. In three years, Hunter has led the program to 62 wins, including two of the three best seasons in program history. Th e 2013-14 season was the most special, leading Georgia State to 25 wins, the second most in school history, a Sun Belt regular season championship and an appearance in the Postseason NIT, the Panthers’ fi ft h postseason appearance. During the season, the Panthers won a school-record 14-straight games, including a stretch of 22 of 23, as Hunter was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year and NABC Region 24 Coach of the Year. During his first season (2011-12), Georgia State won 22 games, the third most in school history, advancing to the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Hunter has won 336 games in 20 seasons, but the accomplishments made by the 2011-12 team will always be special for him. After being named head coach on March 21, 2011, he built a squad that fi nished in the top 20 in the nation in scoring defense, defensive shooting percentage, steals and blocked shots, as six seniors fi nished their careers triumpently. “I will remember my fi rst team at Georgia State for the rest of life,” Hunter said aft er the season. “We were able to get a group of seniors to buy in and it made for a very special season that will not soon be forgotten about.” Following the record-setting season, Hunter was named Atlanta Tip-off Club Georgia Coach of the Year, while his players earned a record number of conference and national awards.

  In his second year, Hunter led a squad of nine newcomers to 15 wins and saw his son, R.J., earn Kyle Macy Freshman All-America honors, along with a slew of CAA awards. His squad won at some of the toughest places in the CAA, including George Mason and Old Dominion, while knocking off an undefeated Northeastern squad in Boston. The 2013-14 season was a special one for the Hunter family as Ron watched R.J. be named Sun Belt Player of the Year, earn AP All-America Honorable

Mention honors and then receive the conference’s top honor as male athlete of the year. Georgia State saw four Panthers earn all-conference recognition as the Panthers took the regular-season title with an impressive 17-1 confererence mark.

  National notoriety is nothing new for Hunter. While at IUPUI, he was lauded for his humanitarian efforts, partnering with Samaritan’s Feet, an organization that collects shoes for underprivileged children around the world. He continued that work in Atlanta, coaching the Panthers while barefoot in one game during his fi rst three seasons at GSU. While leading IUPUI to 25 or more wins in two of his fi nal four seasons, Hunter began to partner with Samaritan’s Feet. On Jan. 24, 2008, he coached IUPUI against Oakland in his bare feet to help raise awareness for the cause. By tipoff , Hunter’s eff orts had garnered more than 100,000 pairs

of shoes, and to date, that number has climbed well into the millions. During his fi rst season at Georgia State, Hunter led the Panthers to the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Th e Panthers opened the tournament at home, another fi rst, hosting a postseason contest and earning an impressive 74-43 victory against Tennessee Tech. Earlier in the year, Hunter’s squad won 11 straight games, earning impressive victories over CAA preseason favorite Drexel and at VCU. Th e Panthers winning ways continued in the CAA tournament with a record-setting 35-point victory against Hofstra in the fi rst round, the largest margin of victory in CAA Championship history. One of Hunter’s six seniors, Eric Buckner, became one of the top shot blockers in the country and in just his second season as a Panther, set the school record for career blocked shots. Buckner later earned Georgia Men’s

Summit League. He is the school’s winningest coach, both in number of victories and winning percentage, and he led IUPUI to its only appearance in the NCAA tournament in 2003 in just the school’s third season as a Division I program. His program produced George Hill, the 2008 Summit League Player of the Year who was draft ed in the fi rst round of the 2008 NBA Draft (26th selection) by the San Antonio Spurs. Hill was the standout for Hunter’s 2007-08 IUPUI squad that won a school-record 26 games. Th e Jaguars led the nation in 3-point fi eld goal percentage that year while also ranking in the top fi ve in both fi eld goal percentage and free throw percentage. In 2009-10, Hunter’s Jaguars won 25 games, including the fi rst postseason victory in school history. IUPUI, the Summit League runner-up, earned a berth in the College Basketball Invitational, where the Jaguars defeated Hofstra in the fi rst round before falling to Princeton in double overtime. IUPUI ranked second in the nation in fi eld-goal percentage in 2009-10. Hunter’s 2010-11 team earned third place in the conference with a 12-6 mark in conference play, along with an overall record of 19-14, including victories over Big East member USF (69-68) and Summit League champion Oakland (100-88). Th e Jaguars suff ered a 75-64 loss at NCAA No. 1 seed Ohio State and a 56-54 loss to No. 2 seed San Diego State. Named Summit League Coach of the Year in 2003 and 2006, Hunter led IUPUI to

the conference championship game fi ve times from 2002-10, including the 2003 title game victory over top-seeded Valparaiso. Between 2005 and 2010, the Jaguars never fi nished lower than fourth in the league standings under Hunter, including runnerup fi nishes in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010. Sixteen of Hunter’s Jaguars received fi rst- or second-team all-conference accolades, including two player-of-the-year honorees in Hill (2008) and Odell Bradley (2004) as well as defensive player of the year Matt Crenshaw (2004). Another 10 IUPUI players were recognized on the league’s all-newcomer team, including Newcomer-of-the-Year winners Austin Montgomery (2007) and Robert Glenn (2009). Hunter’s teams have shown the ability to knock off top competition on the road, recording victories at Georgia Tech (2001-02), at Northwestern (2002-03) and at Seton Hall (2008-09). Hunter arrived at IUPUI as head coach in 1994-95 and led the then-NAIA program to a winning record at 16-13 in his fi rst season. His second IUPUI squad posted a 22-7 mark in NCAA Division II, at the time the highest single-season winning percentage in school history. Winning records followed the next two seasons, and Carlos Knox became a three-time All-American at the Division II level. Th e program began its transition to Division I and the Summit League in 1998-99. Hunter’s coaching career began in 1987, when he served as an assistant at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. During his six seasons at Milwaukee, the school moved from NAIA to NCAA Division II status and eventually to Division I. During Hunter’s stint, Wisconsin-Milwaukee amassed an overall record of 111-59, including a 23-4 mark in 1992-93. Prior to his arrival at IUPUI, Hunter spent one year as the top assistant coach at his alma mater, Miami (Ohio), under current Arizona State head coach Herb Sendek. During that season, the Redhawks were 19-10, fi nishing second in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and making an appearance in the postseason National Invitation Tournament (NIT). Hunter, 50, earned his bachelor’s degree in education at Miami (Ohio) in 1986 and added a master’s in 1987. He was a standout player on strong Miami (Ohio) teams of the mid-1980s, along with high school and college teammate Ron Harper, who went on to a long NBA career. Th e Redhawks were 81-30 during Hunter’s four-year career and earned three consecutive NCAA tournament berths while winning two MAC championships. Hunter and his wife, Amy, have two children, Jasmine (25) and R.J. (20), who is a junior on the team this season.

Following the then-second most successful season in school history, RON HUNTER was named 2012 Georgia College Coach of the Year by the Atlanta Tip-off Club.

Darryl LaBarrie, a former Georgia Tech assistant coach with deep Atlanta roots, enters his fourth season at Georgia State in 2014-15. Prior to his arrival at GSU three years ago, LaBarrie spent the previous two seasons on the staff at Georgia Tech under Paul Hewitt, where his primary responsibilities were recruiting and developing the perimeter players. This past season was no doubt his best as he helped guide the Panthers to a 25 wins, a Sun Belt regular-season championship and a bid to the Postseason NIT, just the fifth postseason bid in program history. In 2012-13, he oversaw the recruitment and signing of R.J. Hunter, who went on to earn Kyle Macy Freshman All-America honors and re-write the GSU record book for a freshman. Hunter added to his resume with AP All-America Honorable Mention recoginition in 2013-14. He also recruited Ryan Harrow, a Parade First Team All-American and Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year to play at Georgia State and Manny Atkins, a top-60 recruit out of high school. Both earned all-conference honors during the 2013-14 season. In his fi rst season with the Panthers, LaBarrie helped the squad to 22 wins, and the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. GSU fi nished among the top 20 in the NCAA in scoring defense, defensive field-goal percentage, blocked shots and steals. In his first season with the Yellow Jackets (2009-10), LaBarrie helped Tech a 23-13 record and the second round of the NCAA tournament. Tech nearly won the ACC tournament, falling to Duke 65-61 in the championship. During his second season, LaBarrie

continued to oversee the development of Iman Shumpert, who led the Yellow Jackets in scoring, rebounds and assists and was named All-ACC Second Team as well as the conference’s all-defensive team. Prior to his stint with the Yellow Jackets, LaBarrie spent two seasons as an assistant coach at East Carolina. LaBarrie helped the Pirates produce the top two 3-point shooting seasons in school history and ranked fi rst or second in Conference USA in that category in his two seasons. During the 2008-09 season, ECU made a school-record 261 treys, breaking the mark established the previous year. A 2001 graduate of Georgia Tech, LaBarrie spent the 2006-07 season as an assistant coach at Campbell. Prior to joining the Camels’ staff, he served as a coach with the highly regarded Atlanta Celtics AAU program. He also worked as a regional NBA scout for Marty Blake’s Court Report while serving as an assistant coach at Stone Mountain (Ga.) High School. LaBarrie is no stranger to Georgia State as he earned his master’s degree in sports administration on campus in

GEORGIA STATE 97, SOUTHERN POLY 78GSU Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga.

R.J. Hunter scored 27 points and Curtis Washington tied the Georgia State record with nine blocked shots as the Panthers opened the regular season with a 97-78 vic-tory over Southern Poly Saturday at the GSU Sports Arena. Georgia State (1-0) achieved its highest scoring output under head coach Ron Hunter and its highest since a 97-92 victory over Troy on Nov. 24, 2007. Hunter went 7-for-13 from the fi eld, including fi ve 3-pointers, and was a perfect 8-for-8 at the free throw line as he equaled the second-highest scoring game of his career, bettered only by his 38 points last season against Old Dominion. Th e 6-5 sophomore also contributed seven rebounds and four assists. Washington, the 6-9 transfer from Southern California playing his fi rst regular-season game for the Panthers, tied the GSU record originally set by Sylvester Morgan against Mercer in 2005 and then equaled by James Vincent last season against Mon-mouth. Washington also had six points and seven rebounds in his Panther debut. “I thought we played really well in spurts,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “We did a pretty good job shooting the ball and I was really pleased with the way we shot free throws. My only disappointment was in our rebounding as we cannot give up 21 off ensive rebounds. We will continue to work on that.” Also playing his fi rst game in a GSU uniform, Kentucky transfer Ryan Harrow had 20 points and six assists.

VANDERBILT 86, GEORGIA STATE 80Memorial Gym • Nashville, Tenn. Despite 27 points from Ryan Harrow and 21 points from R.J. Hunter, Vander-bilt earned an 86-80 win at Memorial Gym on Tuesday night. Th e Panthers led by one with less than four minutes to play and were tied with the Commodores with two minutes to play. Th e game marked Harrow’s return to the SEC following two seasons at Ken-tucky, including last season where he served as the Wildcats starting point guard. He fi nished the game 10-of-21 from the fl oor, playing a team-high 38 minutes and dishing out four assists. Playing in front of more than 8,000 fans, the two teams combined for 10 ties and 16 lead changes. Georgia State dropped to 1-1, while Vanderbilt won its season opener to improve to 1-0. Redshirt-junior Curtis Washington just missed a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds, adding four blocked shots following Saturday’s opener when he tied the school-record with nine. “Our guys came in hungry and played a great game,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “I knew that if we stuck to our game plan, we would have a chance all the way to the end of the game. “I think Vanderbilt is probably the best team on our schedule and we went head-to-head with them. One break here or there and the result could have been diff erent.” Trailing 66-60 midway through the second half, Georgia State used an 8-0 run to take a 68-66 lead with 6:01 to play. Th e two teams were tied 73-73 with 2:18 to play before a Damian Jones jumper gave the Commodores a two-point lead that would not be relinquished. Jones pushed the lead to six with a dunk with 24 seconds to play before the Panthers mounted one last rally. Hunter made a lay-up with 18 seconds left to cut it to four and then a pair of free throws by Devonta White cut the lead to just two with 10 seconds to play. Vanderbilt made four free throws in the fi nal 10 seconds to close out the win. White fi nished the game scoring 11 points, grabbed fi ve rebounds and dished out fi ve assists. His 3-pointer one-minute into the game tied him with Travis Wil-liams for 15th on Georgia State’s all-time scoring list before pushing ahead of the mark in the second half. Georgia State came out hot from 3-point range in the fi rst few minutes of the game. Harrow’s 3-pointer with 15:53 to play in the fi rst half gave Georgia State an early 12-7 lead, the Panthers biggest of the game. Vanderbilt never led by more than six. Before Washington’s free throw miss with 45 seconds remaining in the fi rst half, GSU starters had made 24-straight from the line this regular season.

ALABAMA 75, GEORGIA STATE 58NIT Season Tipoff • Coleman Coliseum • Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Aft er being held scoreless in the fi rst two games of the season, Richardson scored 31 points in Tuscaloosa, going 12-of-19 from the fl oor and hitting seven 3-pointers off the bench. “I thought that Alabama played really well and took us out of our game,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Th ey played a physical game and I thought that it frustrated our guys a bit and took us out of our style of play. “I think it was a little bit of a wake-up call for our guys as to what we need to do. With that said, playing in the NIT Season Tipoff has been a great experience for us and our program. Everyone associated with the event has been great and I am glad we were able to show our program to the country.” Th e Crimson Tide led 38-30 at the half and used an 11-2 run to open the second half and extend its lead to 49-32 with 15:35 to play.

CANISIUS 79, GEORGIA STATE 71NIT Season Tipoff • Alumni Gym • Elon, N.C. Despite 23 points from redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow, cold-shooting from behind the 3-point arc proved too much to overcome for Georgia State which fell to Canisius 79-71 on Monday night at Alumni Gym in the NIT Season Tipoff Consolation Round. Redshirt-junior Curtis Washington came off the bench to record his fi rst double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 7-of-9 from the fl oor in 28 minutes. Georgia State (2-3) made just 15-percent (3-of-20) from 3-point range, while Canisius (3-2) hit 50-percent from the fl oor and 56.5-percent from 3-point range, knocking down 13-of-23 from beyond the arc. Harrow hit 10-of-18 from the fl oor while the rest of the team went 17-of-45, shooting 37.8 percent. Canisius got 26 points from senior Billy Baron who hit 8-of-14 from the fl oor and 5-of-10 from 3-point range. Chris Perez, who heated up in the fi rst half to lead the Golden Griffi ns, fi nished with 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting, making three 3s and pulling down seven rebounds. “When you shoot 3-of-20 from the 3-point line and continue to struggle defen-sively, it can lead to a rough night,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “We have talked about chemistry and there are some things that we need to fi gure out right now. “I told our guys that we just need to keep grinding. November is not when we wanted to play our best basketball this season, but at the same time we need to fi nd our niche and we just have not done that yet.” Sophomore R.J. Hunter scored 11 points, but went 3-of-13 from the fl oor and 1-of-8 from 3-point range. Canisius took an early 13-4 lead as Perez scored seven points early. The Golden Griffi ns pushed the lead to 19-8, their biggest of the fi rst half before the Panthers responded. Georgia State cut the defi cit to two, 25-23, on a Washington dunk with 6:43 to play in the opening period. As GSU struggled from 3-point range missing its fi rst six, Canisius knocked down six of its fi rst 10 and shot 50 percent from beyond the arc in the opening period. Th e Panthers went 1-of-8 in the opening stanza. Harrow, who scored 15 points in the fi rst half to lead the Panthers, cut the Canisius lead to 35-34 with 1:47 to play, the closest GSU came to overcome the 11-point fi rst half defi cit. Canisius came out hot in the second half again, pushing the lead to 11 points, 49-38, with 15:55 to play before Georgia State responded with an 11-2 run to trail 51-49 with 12:25 remaining. Th e Golden Griffi ns once again responded and pushed the lead to 69-58 with 4:30 to play on a 3-pointer with Jeremiah Williams.

ELON 90, GEORGIA STATE 85NIT Season Tipoff • Alumni Gym • Elon, N.C. Redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow scored a career-high 34 points and the Panthers hit 58.8 percent from 3-point range, but Elon knocked down 15 3-pointers to earn a 90-85 win over Georgia State on Tuesday night in the fi nal game of the NIT Season Tipoff . Harrow scored the most points in a game for the Panthers since R.J. Hunter scored 38 against Old Dominion last season. Th e transfer from Kentucky fi nished 13-of-26 from the fl oor and dished out four assists. In the two games at Elon, Harrow scored 57 points. Georgia State (2-4) hit 10-of-17 from 3-point range and shot 53.3-percent from the fl oor, but Elon (3-4) was just a little better, making 15-of-24 3-pointers and shooting 56.3-percent from the fl oor. Th e Phoenix pulled away at the end of the game, making 21-of-26 from the free throw line. Redshirt-junior Curtis Washington added 17 points for the Panthers, scoring 15 in the fi rst half. Following his fi rst double-double on Monday night, Washington returned to the starting line-up to add seven rebounds and three blocked shots. “We are still trying to fi nd ourselves defensively, but I feel better than I felt af-ter Monday night’s game,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “I thought we responded well, but we are being tested right now on this six-game road trip. I thought we really fought against a team that is supposed to win the Southern Conference. “Ryan really stepped up, especially in the second half when we needed him as R.J. was a little banged up. He gave us everything he could. I really think what we are trying to is coming, we just have to keep working.” Five Elon players scored in double-fi gures, led by Lucas Troutman who scored 19 points, making 7-of-9 free throws. Tanner Samson and Sebastian Koch added 15 points each, while Austin Hamilton scored 13. For the second straight night, the Panthers outscored their opponents 42-18 in the paint. Trailing 20-14 midway thru the fi rst half, the Panthers responded and held the Phoenix scoreless for 3:30, going on a 12-0 run to take a 26-20 lead with 7:39 to play. Georgia State led 44-41 at the half, making 6-of-7 from 3-point range. Elon knocked down 7-of-13 from 3-point range as both teams shot more than 56-per-cent from the fl oor to open the game. Elon held Georgia State scoreless for more than fi ve minutes early in the second half and went on a 9-0 run to take a 62-54 lead with just under 10 minutes to play. Th e Panthers responded with a 10-1 run of its own, spurred by eight points from Harrow, to take a 64-63 lead with 8:24 to play.

Game 7: Nov. 30, 2013, 5 p.m.

FIU 61, GEORGIA STATE 60U.S. Century Bank Arena • Miami, Fla. A potential game-winning shot by Ryan Harrow didn’t fall with less than fi ve seconds to play and Georgia State fell to FIU at U.S. Century Bank Arena on Saturday night, 61-60. Harrow fi nished with 21 points and R.J. Hunter added 17 as the Panthers dropped their fourth-straight road game. Georgia State (2-5) made just 4-of-10 second half free throws which proved to be the diff erence, shooting 56.3-percent from the line for the game. FIU (7-3) got a double-double of 23 points and 11 rebounds from Tymell Murphy and Rakeem Buckles added nine points and 17 rebounds for the Panthers which won for the seventh time in eight games. Georgia State was outrebounded on the glass 49-27, giving up 18 second chance points. Redshirt-junior Curtis Washington secured 14 rebounds, more than half of the Panthers total for a career-high. “We played a lot better defensively tonight, but then we let other things slide,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “You cannot get outrebounded by 22 and shoot 56.3-percent from the free throw line and expect to win too many games. “Th e month of November has not been good to us, but now we get to go home, regroup and get this thing turned around.” Th e two teams went into the half tied at 27 before Georgia State opened the second half on a 7-0 run to a 34-27 lead with 18:01 to play, its biggest of the game. Georgia State led most of the second half before FIU’s Dennis Mavin made a lay-up and free throw with 1:02 to play to give the home team a 59-58 lead. Th e Panthers had a chance to tie it or take the lead, but Washington was fouled on the other end and missed both free throws attempts. Buckles responded with a lay-up for FIU to take a 61-58 lead with 30.2 sec-onds to play. Th e Panthers responded as Harrow hit a lay-up and was fouled, but missed a free throw that would have tied the game with 20.2 seconds to play. On the other end, Murphy missed the fi rst end of a one-and-one giving Geor-gia State one last chance that came up just short. Manny Atkins added 11 points for Georgia State, hitting three of the Panthers seven 3-pointers. Georgia State held FIU to just 4-of-15 from 3-point range, including 1-of-7 in the second half. FIU opened the game on a 7-0 run before Hunter called GSU’s fi rst time. Th e Golden Panthers built their lead to as many as 11 at 14-3 before Georgia State held FIU scoreless for nearly six minutes. During that stretch, Georgia State used a 10-1 run to cut FIU’s lead to 15-13 with 9:11 to play in the fi rst half.

GEORGIA STATE 71, YOUNG HARRIS 54GSU Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga. Curtis Washington tied his career-high 17 points, along with eight rebounds and six blocked shots to lead Georgia State to a 71-54 victory over Young Harris Wednesday at the GSU Sports Arena. Devonta White scored 16 points for Georgia State (3-5), which shot a season-high 62.2-percent from the fi eld. Th e 62.2-percent from the fl oor is tied for the eighth best mark in GSU single-game history and tops in the two-plus seasons under head coach Ron Hunter. With Washington hitting 8-of-10 fi eld goals, the Panthers were 28-of-45 from the fl oor, attempting just seven 3-pointers and making one. “I was really proud of the eff ort we gave defensively tonight,” Hunter said. “We have played much better defensively in the last two games. Honestly, it is all that we have been working on in practice. We know what our off ense is capable of and it will continue to get better, but defensively was where we needed the most work. “We were able to get Devonta White going tonight and Jaylen Hinton gave us some really good minutes. Th ey gave us a great lift and a great spark when we needed it.” White, the senior guard from Alpharetta, Ga., moved into 13th place on the Georgia State career scoring list. He now has 1,073 points as he passed Jim Ja-cobs (1,059) and now stands just one point behind 12th place Lamont McIntosh (1,074). R.J. Hunter added 14 points for Georgia State, which snapped a four-game losing streak. Hinton came off the bench to play a career-high 22 minutes, scoring fi ve points and grabbing three rebounds. Kevin Alitdor scored 16 points to lead Young Harris (5-1), which managed just 33 percent shooting, including 6-for-27 from 3-point range. Th e Panthers shot 64 percent from the fi eld in the fi rst half to take a 34-22 lead at the break. Aft er shooting just 6-of-13 from the free throw line in the fi rst half, the normally reliable free throw shooting team made 8-of-9 in the second half.

Hunter added 15 points for the Panthers, while senior Manny Atkins scoring 14 and senior Devonta White adding 13. “Obviously I am disappointed that we lost the game,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “But I am proud at how our team fought back in the second half. Despite adversity and foul trouble, we played smart on off ense and solid on defense to give ourselves a chance to win.” Trailing by 11, Harrow led a 15-3 run as Georgia State took a 55-54 lead with 3:25 to play, the Panthers fi rst lead of the second half. With two seconds on the shot clock and the ball out of bounds, White in-bounded to Hunter who hit a quick jumper to give GSU a fi ve-point lead, 59-54 with under a minute to play. Aaron Brown came down the court and nailed a 3-pointer with 38 seconds to play for Southern Miss, which fi nished regulation on a 7-2 run. Th e momentum helped the Golden Eagles score the fi rst seven points of overtime with Daveo Boardingham scoring the fi rst fi ve for the Golden Eagles. Watson fi nished with 18 points which led Southern Miss, while Michael Craig added a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds. Aaron Brown fi nished with 14 points and Boardingham chipped in 12 as four Golden Eagles fi nished in double fi gures. Pushing the ball inside, GSU took an early lead over Southern Miss, 9-2, holding the Golden Eagles without a fi eld goal for nearly the fi rst fi ve minutes of the game. With his first basket, Devonta White moved ahead of Lamont McIntosh (2000-04) and into 12th-place on GSU’s all-time scoring list.

GEORGIA STATE 79, OLD DOMINION 73GSU Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga. Ryan Harrow scored 33 points, including six straight free throws in the fi nal 1:40 to lead Georgia State to a 79-73 victory over Old Dominion Saturday at the GSU Sports Arena. Harrow went 14-for-15 at the free throw line and Georgia State (4-6) made 32 foul shots as a team, the most for the Panthers since 2004. Harrow scored 20 or more for the seventh time in 10 games and his 33 points was just one shy of a career-high set against Elon during the NIT Season Tipoff earlier this year. Georgia State trailed 68-64 with four minutes to go when Harrow made a pair of free throws and then hit a short jumper to tie the game at 68-all with 3:18 to play. Aft er Dmitri Batten made one of two free throws to give Old Dominion (4-6) its last lead, GSU’s Devonta White drove the lane and then fed Curtis Washington for a dunk, putting the Panthers ahead for good with 2:46 left . “Th is is a win that we defi nitely needed,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “I thought that some of our guys really played well. With fi nal exams last week, I think it took a little bit of time for some of our guys to get going, but once they did, I thought we did a lot of good things. “Our defense picked it up when we needed to and that is what winning teams do. We made our free throws down the stretch and earned a very good win over an ODU team that we have struggled with in the past.” Batten again hit one free throw and then Harrow sank a pair for a 72-70 GSU advantage with 1:40 left . He hit four more down the stretch, and then Washington added two with 17 seconds left to put the Panthers ahead 78-71 and seal the vic-tory. Th ree other Panthers scored in double fi gures as Manny Atkins had 15 points, White 13 and R.J. Hunter 11. White added six assists and three steals. Hunter ran his streak of 18-straight made free throws before a miss in the second half, just fi ve shy of tying the school record. Aaron Bacote led ODU with 21 points but fouled out with four minutes left . Th e Monarchs shot 51 percent from the fi eld and hit 10 3-pointers, but Georgia State forced 20 turnovers. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Bacote and Jordan Baker in the fi nal two minutes of the fi rst half sent the Monarchs into the locker room with a 37-35 advantage. Bacote scored 18 in the fi rst half as the Monarchs shot 55 percent from the fi eld.

GEORGIA STATE 73, GEORGIA SOUTHERN 61Georgia State Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga.

Manny Atkins scored a season-high 23 points and tied his career best with 12 rebounds and Ryan Harrow added 22 points as Georgia State downed in-state rival Georgia Southern 73-61 Friday at the GSU Sports Arena. Senior Devonta White added a career-high 10 assists and seven points, while sophomore R.J. Hunter chipped in 16 as the Panthers beat their in-state foes for the fi ft h time in seven tries. “I thought it was a really good game and I thought our guys played well,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Although Manny Atkins played nearly a perfect game, I thought Ryann Green and Markus Crider really provided us the spark on defense that we needed.” Crider came off the bench to play 25 minutes and despite just four points, one was a monster-dunk that got the nearly 1,900 in the building on their feet. Th e sophomore added two steals and two blocked shots on the defensive end. Green saw his most signifi cant minutes of the year, coming off the bench to play 12 and pull down three rebounds. “We had guys bring some real defensive toughness and that was key tonight. Our off ense played well, but our defense won the game,” Hunter said. Th e game featured 14 lead changes over the fi rst 27 minutes, but Harrow’s 3-pointer with 12:55 to play gave Georgia State (5-6) the lead for good at 47-45. Th at bucket started a 15-4 run that pushed the Panthers’ advantage to 59-49 with seven minutes left . Georgia Southern (6-7) pulled within six on a Jelani Hewitt free throw that made the score 62-56 with 4:23 on the clock, but Crider answered with a layup for Georgia State. Atkins followed with a 3-point play to put the Panthers ahead 67-56 with three minutes to go. Atkins and Harrow each went 8-for-13 from the fi eld. Atkins recorded his fi rst double-double of the year aft er recording three during his junior season. Th e Panthers shot-49 percent from the fi eld and made 9-of-22 (41-percent) from 3-point range. Brian Holmes scored a career-high 19 points for Georgia Southern, including four of the Eagles’ 11 3-pointers. Georgia Southern guard Tre Bussey, the cousin of GSU guard Ryan Harrow, fi nished with 13 points, while Jelani Hewitt added 15 points and nine rebounds.

Five East Carolina (10-4) players fi nished in double-fi gures, led by Akeem Richmond ,who knocked down seven 3-pointers. Atkins fi nished 11-of-14 from the fl oor, tying a career-high in rebounds set just two games ago against in-state foe Georgia State. Redshirt-junior Curtis Washington added eight points and eight rebounds with senior Devonta White fi nishing with eight points and six assists for Georgia State. “I am just really proud of our guys,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “I told them in the locker room aft er the game that this was a great road win for us. East Carolina is a really good team and to come one the road and get a win like this is big for our team. “Th is win for us was a product of the tough early-season schedule that we played. We have been to Vanderbilt, Alabama, Southern Miss, places that are tough to play. We learned from those experiences and it paid off today.” Georgia State built its lead to as many as 14 with 8:05 to play in the fi rst half. Atkins made his fi rst fi ve shots, including 3-pointer and Hunter continued his hot play, knocking down a 3-point just one minute into the game. Hunter was coming off of a 41-point performance last week at UTSA. Redshirt-junior Curtis Washington scored six-straight points in the middle of the half, fi nishing the fi rst half with eight points and six rebounds in the opening period. A free throw by ECU’s Paris Roberts-Campbell with 1:06 to play cut Georgia State’s fi rst-half lead to six. It was the closest the Pirates got in the opening period aft er trailing by 14 before half time. East Carolina went 8-of-17 from the free throw line in the fi rst half, while Georgia State went just 2-of-3. Akeem Richmond’s 3-pointer with 17:40 to play in the game tied the score at 40, the fi rst time the game was tied since the opening tip. Th e Pirates took their fi rst lead, 48-47, following a pair of Caleb White free throws with 14:35 to play. It proved to be ECU’s only lead of the game as Georgia State responded with a 9-0 run to take a 56-48 lead with 11:14 to play as Harrow made a pair of impressive lay-ups in the lane. Th e Panthers extended the run to 14-3 over a fi ve-minute stretch, building the lead to 61-51 with 10:07 to play. Georgia State made its free throws down the stretch, fi nishing 15-of-21 from the line to secure the victory.

GEORGIA STATE 81, TROY 72Georgia State Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga. R.J. Hunter scored 25 points and Ryan Harrow added 20 points and seven assists as Georgia State won its fi ft h straight game with an 81-72 victory over Troy in the Sun Belt Conference opener for both teams Th ursday at the GSU Sports Arena. Hunter grabbed a career-high seven steals, one shy of the GSU record, as the Panthers forced 23 Troy turnovers, converting them into 33 points. Georgia State has won six of its last seven games to improve to 8-6 overall, 1-0 in the Sun Belt. Troy fell to 5-8, 0-1 Sun Belt. Th e Panthers were playing their fi rst Sun Belt Conference game since 1981 aft er helping found the league in 1976. Th e Panthers shot 52 percent from the fi eld and went 16-for-18 from the free throw line. Hunter hit 8-of-14 shots from the fi eld and 7-of-8 from the line, while Harrow was 7-for-14 on fi eld goals and 6-for-6 at the charity stripe. Curtis Washington added 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting. Manny Atkins grabbed a team-high six rebounds along with nine points, and Devonta White had six points and six assists. Markus Crider also scored six points off the bench on three emphatic dunks. “I have always said that there is no such thing as a bad win,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “However, tonight was awfully close. We did not play with the eff ort that it will take to win games in this league. “With that said, I thought Troy played really hard tonight. Th ey outrebounded us, out hustled us and gave some great eff ort for all 40-minutes.” Th e Panthers led 36-31 late in the fi rst half before scoring seven points in the fi nal 40 seconds, including fi ve in the last three seconds of the half, to take a 44-31 lead into the locker room. Harrow made a driving layup with 40 seconds to go, and aft er a Troy turnover, he fed Crider for the slam with three seconds left . Troy’s Kevin Th omas travelled on the inbounds play, allowing Hunter to get off a three-pointer with 0.8 second left . He missed the shot but was fouled and made the three free throws. Georgia State built its lead to as many as 16 points early in the second half and maintained a double-digit advantage for most of the half. Th e fi nal nine-point margin was as close as the Trojans could get. Hunter Williams led Troy with 18 points, all on 3-pointers, and Kevin Th omas added 17 points and 10 rebounds. Antoine Myers added 14 points and eight re-bounds.

GEORGIA STATE 73, SOUTH ALABAMA 63Mitchell Center • Mobile, Ala. R.J. Hunter scored 30 points, hitting fi ve 3-pointers and going a school-record 13-of-13 from the free throw line to lead Georgia State to a 73-63 victory over South Alabama at the Mitchell Center Saturday evening. Georgia State (9-6, 2-0 Sun Belt) won for the sixth-straight time and seventh time in the last eight games. Th e six-game streak is tied for the eighth-longest streak in program history and is the longest since the Panthers won a school-record 11 games during the 2011-12 season. Hunter fi nished 6-of-12 from the fl oor and 5-of-9 from 3-point range, pulling down fi ve rebounds. Th e sophomore has scored 20 or more in each of the last four games, including a 41-point performance at UTSA just two weeks ago. Seniors Devonta White and Manny Atkins each added 14 points. White went 5-of-7 from the fl oor and hit a pair of 3-pointers, while Atkins hit a pair of 3s and pulled down four rebounds. Augustine Rubit led South Alabama (6-9, 0-2 Sun Belt) with a double-double of 11 points and 14 rebounds, while Ken Williams knocked down fi ve 3-pointers to score 19 points for the Jaguars. “I challenged our team aft er what I considered a poor performance on Th ursday night,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “I thought that tonight from the start, we had great intensity. Th at is the type of intensity you need every night to win in this league. “We did all of the little things that you need to do to win. We didn’t turn the ball over in the second half, we shot the ball great from the free throw line and stepped up and got stops when we needed to.” Georgia State fi nished the game 24-of-26 (92.3-percent) from the free throw line and fi nished the game 9-of-20 from 3-point range. Aft er fi ve fi rst half turnovers, the Panthers did not turn it over in the second half. GSU entered the game second in the NCAA turning the ball over just 8.8 times per game. South Alabama took an early 7-1 lead before Georgia State responded with an 11-5 run of its own to tie the score at 12. Both teams took advantage of the free throw line in the opening period. Georgia State hit 9-of-10, while South Alabama made 12-of-15. Georgia State extended its lead to eight with just under two minutes to play as Hunter knocked down fi ve 3-pointers in the fi rst half, while White made a pair and scored 10 points in the fi rst 20 minutes. South Alabama fi nished the fi rst half on a 5-0 to cut the Panthers lead to 39-36. Georgia State opened the second half on a 7-0 run and pushed its lead to 11, 48-37, with 17:29 to play. A Williams 3-pointer for South Alabama with 2:43 to play cut the Panthers lead to seven, but that was as close as the home team would get as the Panthers scored fi ve-straight to push it back to 12.

GEORGIA STATE 77, WESTERN KENTUCKY 54E.A. Diddle Arena • Bowling Green, Ky. Georgia State won its seventh-straight game and handed Western Kentucky its worse home-conference loss in 15 years with an impressive 77-54 win on Th urs-day night at E.A. Diddle Arena. Five Panthers scored in double-fi gures as Georgia State went a perfect 22-of-22 from the free throw line to set a new school-record. Redshirt-junior Curtis Washington led Georgia State (10-6, 3-0) with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds playing just 45-minutes from his hometown of Elizabethtown, Ky. Washington went 7-of-9 from the fl oor, blocking a pair of shots in 28 minutes. Th e seven-game winning streak is tied for the third-longest in program his-tory and is longest since GSU won 11-straight during the 2011-12 season. Georgia State also won its fourth-straight on the road, its longest road streak since a pair of four-game streaks during that same season. Senior Manny Atkins led all scorers with 18 points, while senior Devonta White added 13, sophomore R.J. Hunter scored 12 and Ryan Harrow added 11 as the Panthers won for the eighth time in the last nine games. Hunter, the reigning Sun Belt Player of the Week, made his fi rst four free-throw attempts to extend his streak to 23-straight and tied the school-record held by Nate Williams during the 2003-04 season. He made two more in the second half to establish a new school-record and has made 25-straight free throws in the last three games. Georgia State, the top free-throw shooting team in the Sun Belt, broke its school-record of 18-makes without a miss set against Stetson on Jan. 31, 2003. Th e perfect 22-of-22 from the line set an E.A. Diddle Arena record previously held by Murray State with 18-makes without a miss. Leading 34-29 at halft ime, Georgia State busted open the game with a 15-0 run to start the second half, holding the Hilltoppers without a basket for more than six minutes. Western Kentucky (10-6, 2-1) lost for just the second time at home this season, shooting just 28.6-percent from the fl oor and making just 8-of-16 free throws. It was the seventh-time in two-plus seasons under head coach Ron Hunter that the Panthers held the opposition under 30-percent from the fl oor.GEORGIA STATE 77 (10-6, 3-0)

GEORGIA STATE 73, ARKANSAS STATE 72Georgia State Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga. R.J. Hunter scored the fi nal basket of his game-high 23 points with 11.1 seconds left , giving Georgia State a hard-fought 73-72 victory -- and its eighth straight win overall -- in the Georgia State Sports Arena on Th ursday night. Hunter’s eff ort lead four Panthers in double fi gures as they kept control of sole possession of fi rst place in the Sun Belt Conference by moving to 4-0 in league action (11-6 overall). Arkansas State’s furious comeback from down 15 points in the fi rst half and double digits nearly midway through the second period fell short as the Red Wolves dropped to 10-6 on the year and 3-2 in conference action. “For the most part, that is the closest game we have played in a long time,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Championship teams have to fi gure out ways to win all kinds of games and tonight we were able to do that. Getting a little emotional, Hunter continued “I am really proud of my son (R.J.). It was a great team win, but as a father, I am really proud of my son.” Georgia State had to come on strong at the end aft er a blistering start. Despite being up 15 with just over seven minutes to play in the fi rst period, the Panthers found themselves trailing by seven with 4:10 to play in the game when Melvin Johnson’s dunk gave A-State a 69-62 advantage. Devonta White scored on a jumper and a steal by Manny Atkins followed. Marcus Crider made Atkins’ theft count as he grabbed an off ensive rebound on the other end and his putback brought GSU to within three. A pair of Arkansas State free throws with 2:34 bumped the Red Wolves’ lead back to fi ve and from there it was Hunter’s show. Th e sophomore wing drained his third 3-pointer of the game to give Georgia State life and cut the lead to 71-69. Following a free throw by A-State, Ryan Harrow scored on a teardrop while slicing through the lane to pull the Panthers within one at 72-71 as the clock ticked under 1 minute remaining. Arkansas State had three more open looks in the fi nal minute including one off an off ensive rebound -- one of its 15 off ensive boards on the night -- but could not connect. Instead, Hunter made the winning shot, fl oating in an off -balanced jumper while driving from the corner to put Georgia State on the winning end. A-State had one more chance to ruin the excitement for the crowd of 2,089, but a 3-pointer and a missed layup at the buzzer sealed the thrilling Sun Belt win. Everything was going the Panthers’ way in the fi rst half when they hit 48.5 percent from the fl oor, including 5 of 12 from 3-point range, to open an 11-point halft ime lead. GSU’s 3-point shooting cooled off in the second frame as the Panthers hit just 2 of 9 from long range, but made up for it by getting free points at the line, connecting on 9 of 10 free throws aft er the break. Kirk Van Slyke led the Red Wolves with 22 points and 10 rebounds.

GEORGIA STATE 90, UALR 73Georgia State Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga. R.J. Hunter scored 25 points and Manny Atkins added 22 as Georgia State cruised to its ninth straight victory with a 99-73 victory over UALR in head coach Ron Hunter’s annual “Barefoot for Bare Feet” game Saturday aft ernoon at the GSU Sports Arena. With the dominating victory, the Panthers improved to 12-6 overall and remained the only unbeaten team in Sun Belt Conference play at 5-0. Georgia State now has a two-game lead on the rest of the conference just fi ve games into league play. All fi ve GSU starters scored in double fi gures as the Panthers matched their season-high scoring output and their high in three seasons under Hunter, who annually coaches a game in his bare feet in support of Samaritan’s Feet, an orga-nization that provides shoes to underprivileged children around the world. Th e Panthers nailed 15 3-pointers in the game, including a 6-for-10 eff ort by Hunter and a 4-for-9 performance from Atkins. Hunter also sent 3-for-3 at the free throw line to extend his string of consecutive free throws to 30 in a row, already a school-record. Curtis Washington had 13 points and a game-high six rebounds, Ryan Har-row scored 12 points and handed out seven assists, and Devonta White added 11 points and seven assists. “Th e team came out as focused and determined as I have ever seen them and I re-ally appreciate it,” Ron Hunter said. “Th e upperclassmen on this team know that the one game a year I coach barefoot means a lot to me and they really picked me up today.” Georgia State’s nine-game winning streak is the second-longest in school his-tory and longest since a school-record 11-game skein in 2011-12, Hunter’s fi rst season at the helm. Th e Panthers’ improved to 7-0 at home, equaling the third-longest home winning streak in GSU annals. GSU forced 20 Trojan turnovers, including 14 steals by the Panthers, fi ve of them by Atkins. Th e Panthers built a 59-29 lead at the half, their highest scoring half since scoring 65 vs. Norfolk State on Feb. 2, 1998. GSU shot 69-percent from the fi eld before the intermission, including 9-for-18 from 3-point range. Atkins led the way with 15 points in the fi rst half. UALR 73 (9-9, 4-2)

GEORGIA STATE 77, UL LAFAYETTE 70Cajundome • Lafayette, La. Led by 33 points from sophomore R.J. Hunter, Georgia State overcame a 10-point fi rst half defi cit to earn a 77-70 victory over UL Lafayette on Th ursday night at the Ca-jundome, earning the Panthers their 10th-straight win, just one shy of a school-record. Hunter scored 29 of his 33 points in the second half, including one stretch of 12-straight points for the Panthers. Th e only blemish was the sophomore’s school-record streak of 38-straight free throws coming to an end in the second half, but not before making his fi rst eight of the game. Trailing 62-59 with 3:49 to play, Georgia State (13-6, 6-0 Sun Belt) went on a 10-0 run to take a 69-62 lead with less than a minute to play and then fi nished off the game at the free throw line. UL Lafayette (12-7, 3-3 Sun Belt) had its streak of eight-straight wins at home come to an end as Shawn Long fi nished with a double-double of 17 points and 15 rebounds. Senior Manny Atkins earned his third double-double of the season with 11 points and 11 rebounds, adding three of the Panthers nine blocked shots. “I am really proud of our team,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “I thought we were out-toughed in the fi rst half. We came out in the second half and played Georgia State basketball. All of us were a little too pumped early, but we didn’t let an early defi cit get to us and did the little things we do in the second half to win the game.” Hunter won his 50th-game in his two-plus seasons at Georgia State, joining coach “Left y” Driesell as the only two Panther head coaches to win 50 games in their fi rst three seasons. Redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow added 17 points and four assists for the Panthers while senior Devonta White added nine points, four rebounds and four assists. White is now just fi ve points shy of moving into the top-10 in scoring in program history. Elfrid Payton fi nished with 21 points and nine rebounds for the Ragin’ Cajuns, while Bryant Mbamalu added 11 points and six rebounds. As both teams struggled to fi nd their rhythm early, Georgia State trailed 19-17 when UL Lafayette used an 8-0 run to take a 27-17 lead with 2:31 to play in the opening half. A pair of big 3-pointers got the Panthers back in the game. Harrow knocked down one as the shot clock expired to cut the Ragin’ Cajuns lead to fi ve with 1:22 to play. Hunter followed with his fi rst 3-pointer of the game with fi ve seconds remaining in the half to send Georgia State into the locker room trailing 29-25. Georgia State opened the second half making six of its fi rst eight shots from the fl oor, including a pair of 3-pointers from Hunter and a 3 from Atkins to take a 40-39 lead with 15:12 to play. Hunter, who scored just four points in the fi rst half, scored 18 of the Panthers fi rst 25 points in the second half.GEORGIA STATE 77 (13-6, 6-0)

GEORGIA STATE 66, UL MONROE 58Fant-Ewing Coliseum • Monroe, La. Georgia State overcame a seven-point second half defi cit to earn the Panthers 11th-straight win with a 66-58 victory over UL Monroe on Saturday aft ernoon at Fant-Ewing Coliseum. Four Panthers fi nished in double fi gures as Georgia State tied the school-record for consecutive wins and won for the sixth-straight time on the road, just one shy of a school-record. Redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow led the Panthers with 18 points and senior Devonta White added 17 including 9-of-10 from the free throw line. White moved into the Panthers top-10 in program history in scoring and now has 1,203 points for his career. Georgia State (14-6, 7-0 Sun Belt) continued its best ever start in conference play. Th e Panthers have not lost since an overtime decision at Southern Miss on Dec. 7. Th e win tied the longest win streak in program history which came just two seasons ago during Ron Hunter’s fi rst-season at the helm of GSU. Redshirt-junior Curtis Washington fell just shy of a double-double with seven points and 11 rebounds, while senior Manny Atkins scored 11 points, pulled down fi ve rebounds and swiping three steals. R.J. Hunter added 13 points, three blocks and three steals, including a pair late to help secure the win. Georgia State turned the ball over just six times and forced 15 Warhawk turnovers. Despite 27 points from Tylor Ongwae, ULM fell to 6-9 overall and 3-4 in Sun Belt play. Ongwae scored 17 of his 27 in the fi rst half and added 10 rebounds.“Winning on the road is hard,” Hunter said. “Coach Richard did a great job getting his team ready with little time between the game today and their game on Th ursday night. “Sometimes when you are a championship team, you just have to try and fi gure out a way to win and today we were able to do that. It was great to get a pair of wins on the road in Louisiana.” Trailing 50-43 aft er Ongwae hit a 3-pointer off the glass as the shot clock expired, Georgia State used a 10-3 run to tie the score at 53-53 with 5:35 to play.Harrow used one of the Panthers 11 steals to hit a lay-up and give GSU a 57-55 lead with 3:10 to play, a lead the Panthers would never relinquish. Following a pair of free throws by White, ULM’s Daniel Grieves hit a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired to get the Warhawks within one, 59-58, with 1:38 to play.On the Panthers next two possessions, Atkins went a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line to push the Panthers lead to fi ve, 63-58, with 30-seconds to play. Georgia State fi nished the game 17-of-21 from the free throw line to overcome shooting 38.6-percent from the fl oor and just 5-of-17 from 3-point range.

GEORGIA STATE 101, UT ARLINGTON 91 OTGeorgia State Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga.

Devonta White’s 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left forced overtime and Georgia State pulled away in the extra session for its school-record 12th consecutive victory, 101-91 over UT Arlington Saturday night at the GSU Sports Arena. White fi nished with a career-high 30 points and R.J. Hunter scored 31 of the season-high 101 for the Panthers, who improved to 15-6 overall and remained unbeaten in the Sun Belt Conference at 8-0. Georgia State earned its historic win despite falling behind by 16 points with 12 minutes to play, squandering a three-point lead in the fi nal two minutes and trailing 80-76 with 12 seconds left . Georgia State surpassed its previous high of 11 straight wins, set in head coach Ron Hunter’s fi rst season in 2011-12. Reger Dowell, the leading scorer in the Sun Belt, scored 26 for UTA (9-12, 4-5 SBC). Aft er GSU took a 74-71 advantage on a trey by Hunter, White-Miller made a jumper and then his 3-pointer with 59 seconds left regained the lead for the Mavericks, 76-73. Brandon Edwards’ dunk extended UTA’s lead to 78-74 with 28 seconds left . Aft er White cut the defi cit to two with a driving layup, he stole the ball from Dowell in the backcourt but missed a layup that would have tied the game with 14 seconds left . Edwards then hit a pair of free throws for an 80-76 lead with 12 seconds left , and Hunter followed with an off -balance three to pull GSU within one with seven seconds to play. Aft er Dowell made a pair of free throws for an 82-79 UTA lead, Georgia State’s Markus Crider inbounded the ball from just inside half court with 2.7 seconds on the clock. Crider found White open on the far side, and White caught and let it fl y, tying the game with 0.4 seconds left . “I am incredibly proud of this team,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Th e win streak is great, but it is great for our students, fans, alumni and everyone who is here to support us. We just want to keep winning one game at a time. Th is win was for the entire university. Georgia State scored the fi rst fi ve points of the overtime on a layup by Curtis Washington and a jumper by White and UTA never got closer than three points the rest of the way. Hunter scored 20 of his 31 in the second half. Trailing 69-63 with under six minutes left , he threw up a prayer and drew a foul for three free throws to cut the defi cit to three, and then he tied the game at 69-all with a trey with 4:39 left . With the game tied at 71, White found Hunter in transition for a 3-pointer that put GSU ahead 74-71 at 2:39, the Panthers’ fi rst lead since early in the game. For Georgia State, White, who was 16-for-17 at the free throw line, and Hunter are just the second duo in school history to each score 30 points in a game, joining Matt O’Brien (32) and Chris Collier (31) vs. Fort Valley State in 1989-90.

GEORGIA STATE 68, UALR 57Jack Stephens Center • Little Rock, Ark.

Georgia State used one of its best defensive performances of the year to earn a 68-57 victory over UALR at the Jack Stephens Center on Th ursday night. Th e Panthers extended their school-record win streak to 14 games, tied for the seventh-longest streak in the nation. Senior Devonta White led the Panthers with 22 points and moved into fi ft h on Georgia State’s all-time scoring list. White went 6-of-11 from the fl oor and 9-of-12 from the free throw line, pulling down fi ve rebounds. Sophomore R.J. Hunter, who played only 23 minutes due to foul trouble, added 14 points, while redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow added 13 points and six rebounds. Georgia State improved to 17-6, 10-0 in the Sun Belt and has won 15 of its last 16 games, the best stretch in program history. Th e 17 wins are tied for the fi ft h most in program history while the seven-straight road wins tied the school-record set during the 1999-2000 season. UALR fell to 12-11 and 7-4 in the Sun Belt. Th e Panthers held reigning player of the week Will Neighbour to four points and 10 rebounds in 26 minutes. “Our bench has taken some criticism this year, but I have thought they have done a good job and then really stepped up tonight with some big minutes and big rebounds,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “If it was not for our bench, we do not win this game. “Th e sign of a good team is when you don’t play well and you win. I thought we got aggressive when our shots were not falling and we hit the boards hard. Our bench gave us great minutes and great production tonight. Georgia State, leading 35-34 with 12:37 to play, responded by holding the Trojans without a fi eld goal for the next 10 minutes, building a 58-43 lead with 2:46 to play. UALR would only get as close as nine with 12-seconds to play. Th e two teams were tied fi ve times in the fi rst half and swapped leads four times. Th e Panthers led 21-19 with 3:15 to play in the opening period before using a 7-0 run to build a 28-19 lead and go into the half leading 29-21. Georgia State held UALR to just 25-percent shooting in the fi rst half and outrebounded the Trojans 25-19. The Trojans finished the game shooting 36.8-percent from the fl oor and just 2-of-14 from 3-point range. With his 14-points, Hunter is now just 15 shy of 1,000 for his career. He fi nished 4-of-8 from the fl oor and a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line. Ryan Harrow is now 31 points shy of 1,000 for his career and Manny Atkins, who scored seven and pulled down six rebounds is just 42 points shy of the mark. Redshirt-junior Curtis Washington added seven boards of the Panthers 41 rebounds as GSU fi nished the game with a plus-six rebound margin, its best performance in a conference game this year.GEORGIA STATE 68 (17-6, 10-0)

TROY 85, GEORGIA STATE 81Trojan Arena • Troy, Ala. Georgia State overcame a 13-point second half defi cit to tie it late before Troy pulled away for an 85-81 victory at Trojan Arena on Saturday night. Th e loss snapped Georgia State’s 14-game win streak, the sixth-longest in the nation entering the day. Sophomore R.J. Hunter fi nished with a team-high 26 points, scoring the 1,000th-point of his career early in the second half, making him the 18th-player in program history to reach the milestone. Th e son of head coach Ron Hunter accomplished the feat in just 55 games, the second quickest player in GSU history.Georgia State (17-7, 10-1 Sun Belt) had not lost since Dec. 7. Th e loss also snapped a seven-game road win streak which was tied for the longest in program history.Troy (9-15, 4-8 Sun Belt) won for the second time in three games and for the second-straight season against the Panthers in Trojan Arena. Hunter fi nished the game 8-of-17 from the fl oor, hitting 5-of-11 from 3-point range. Georgia State entering the game the third-best free throw team in the country, shooting 77.8-percent from the line. However, the Panthers knocked down just 18-of-26 (69.2-percent) which proved to be the diff erence. “Obviously I am disappointed with the loss and that the streak came to an end, but if it was going to come to an end I would rather it end on the road,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “I give Troy a lot of credit. Th ey came out, made their shots a played a very good basketball game. “Th e good thing is that we get to go home for three games this week. I have said for us to win a championship, we have to win at home and we will get three chances to defend our home court this week. I look forward to our fans giving us a great home court advantage.” The Panthers trailed by 13-points with 12:03 to play in the game before mounting a comeback to tie it at 75-75 on a putback by sophomore Markus Crider with 2:41 to play. Crider fi nished the game with four points and eight rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench. From there, Troy fi nished the game on a 10-6 run, making six free throws down the stretch. Senior Manny Atkins inched closer to 1,000-points for his career with 18 points, four rebounds and three steals before fouling out in the second half.Redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow added 15 points and six assists, while senior Devonta White scored 11 second-half points.

GEORGIA STATE 68, TEXAS STATE 41Georgia State Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga. Ryan Harrow scored 17 points, including the 1,000th point of his career, as Georgia State cruised past Texas State 68-41 Monday night at the GSU Sports Arena. In a game rescheduled due to last week’s winter storm, Georgia State (18-7, 11-1 Sun Belt) had four players in double fi gures as Manny Atkins scored 15 points, R.J. Hunter had 12 points and a game-high eight rebounds, and Curtis Washington added 10. Th e Panthers held Texas State (7-18, 3-9 Sun Belt) to just 29 percent shoot-ing from fi eld. For much of the game, the GSU record for fewest points allowed (33 vs. Howard on Nov. 21, 2009) appeared in jeopardy as Texas State had just 24 points with under six minutes to play. Still the Bobcats’ point total equals the fourth-lowest by a Georgia State opponent. One game aft er Hunter eclipsed the 1,000-point milestone, Harrow was 6-for-11 from the fi eld and 5-for-5 at the free throw line to raise his career point total to 1,001, including 443 this season at Georgia State. Hunter moved ahead of Chris Collier and Travis Williams and into 16th on the Panthers all-time scoring list. Atkins nearly reached the millennium mark as well as he now has 993 points in his career. “I am really proud of our guys as I thought it was a good comeback game,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “We wanted to make a statement defensively tonight. We were embarrassed by the result on Saturday night as that is not the way we play. Th e last 48 hours in our program have not been good, but just before we walked out to the fl oor, I told our team that blessings come in diff erent ways and tonight we got back to playing GSU-basketball.” Th e game started slowly for both teams, who combined to hit just one of their fi rst 16 fi eld goal attempts. Georgia State scored its fi rst basket at the 16:39 mark, while the Bobcats didn’t score until 13:41 remained in the fi rst half. Ron Hunter’s fi rst Georgia State team in 2011-12 held William and Mary to 13 points in the fi rst half. In the second half, the Panthers shot 61 percent from the fi eld.

Game 26: Feb. 20, 2014, 7 p.m.

GEORGIA STATE 75, UL MONROE 60Georgia State Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga. Senior forward Manny Atkins just missed a double-double as he scored a game-high 21 points with nine rebounds and senior guard Devonta White added 20 points to lead Georgia State to a 75-60 victory against UL Monroe Th ursday night at the GSU Sports Arena. Atkins became the fourth active Panther to reach the 1,000-point plateau in his career while helping the Panthers improve to 19-7 on the season and 12-1 in Sun Belt play. ULM fell to 8-13 overall and 5-8 in league action. Georgia State’s magic number is now two to clinch at least a share of the Sun Belt Conference regular season title. White moved into fourth on GSU’s all-time scoring list with 1,294-points in his career and played in his 111th game, moving into the top-10 in program history.Atkins joined White, R.J. Hunter and Ryan Harrow in topping the century mark, the last two each also happening in the past week. It marked the third consecutive game a current Panther reached the plateau as GSU become just the third Division I school in the nation with four active players with at least 1,000 career points. Th e Panthers joined North Dakota State and Elon. Georgia State found little off ensive production from outside as the Panthers hit just 26.9 percent from long range on the night. Despite the sluggish 3-point shoot-ing, GSU put the throttle down in the second half to push its advantage to more than 20 points midway through the period. It fi nished by hitting 47.4 percent (27 of 57) from the fi eld, including just 7 of 26 beyond the arc. ULM also held a 37-32 advantage on the boards. “Tonight got us one game closer to our goal,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “We are in a tough stretch right now with four games in eight days, but I keep telling the team that we are inching closer to that fi rst goal of winning a regular season title and hanging a banner from our raft ers. “I love at the end of a season and seniors play well because they do not have too many collegiate games left . Devonta and Manny really played well tonight and then I thought our bench gave us a great eff ort as well.” Sophomore Markus Crider came off the bench to play 24 minutes, recording a career-high 10 points and pulling down seven rebounds to go along with three blocked shots and two steals.

Game 27: Feb. 22, 2014, 8:30 p.m. (SBC Network)

GEORGIA STATE 80, UL LAFAYETTE 77Georgia State Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga. Manny Atkins’ wide open 3-pointer from the wing with 0.8 seconds to play gave the Georgia State men’s basketball team a come-from-behind 80-77 victory over UL Lafayette on Saturday in the GSU Sports Arena, snapping the Cajuns’ league-best six-game winning streak. Georgia State is now 20-7 on the year while improving to 13-1 in the Sun Belt. Th e Panthers are one win away from clinching at least a share of Sun Belt Conference regular-season title. UL-L fell to 18-10 overall and 9-6 in league. Ryan Harrow led fi ve Panthers in double fi gures with 18 points, while adding six assists and fi ve rebounds. Devonta White added 17 points while R.J. Hunter had 14. Atkins and Markus Crider had 12 points apiece while combining for 13 rebounds. Crider scored all 12 in the second half to set a career-high for the second-straight game, going 6-of-7 from the fi eld. Georgia State used a 21-0 run early in the second half to open a 63-52 lead with 9:26 to play. Th e Panthers had trailed by double fi gures most of the fi rst half aft er UL-L opened the game on an 11-1 run, including three consecutive 3-point-ers to start the scoring. GSU fi nished by hitting 49.1 percent (27 of 55) from the fi eld and 8 of 17 (47.1 percent) beyond the arc but trailed on the boards 35-30. “It was just a great game,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Th is was a great team eff ort, but this game was won by Markus Crider. He has been in the zone and let me say this, ‘Markus Crider was a man tonight.’ “Playing four games in eight days is tough, but I thought our guys continued to battle and do the things that were necessary to win. And then Manny Atkins just hit a big-time shot like big-time players do.” Shawn Long had a game-high 22 points with eight rebounds for UL-L despite picking up his fourth foul early in the second. Bryant Mbamalu had 19 points and Elfrid Payton added 13 points – including six straight in the fi nal minute to tie the game at 77-77 with 30.0 seconds left – with eight assists. It was clearly a team eff ort in the second half, which seemed to be night and day from the fi rst period. Sophomores Hunter and Crider did much of the dam-age, disrupting the Cajuns’ and pushing GSU to one of its longest scoring runs this season. Hunter hit 3-pointers, blocked shots, rebounded and generally befuddled the Cajuns aft er the intermission while Crider’s dominant presence around the rim proved invaluable.UL LAFAYETTE 77 (18-10, 9-6)

Game 28: Feb. 27, 2014, 8:30 p.m.

GEORGIA STATE 77, UT ARLINGTON 49College Park Center • Arlington, Texas Georgia State used a strong second-half surge to earn a 77-49 win over UT Arlington and secure no worse than a share of the Sun Belt Conference regular season title on Th ursday night at the College Park Center. Th e title is the Panthers fi rst since winning the Atlantic Sun Conference title during the 2001-02 season. Senior Manny Atkins, who was named Sun Belt Player of the Week on Monday, tied a career-high with 27 points, including 17 in the second half as the Panthers outscored the Mavericks 48-15 in the fi nal 20 minutes. Atkins went 8-of-17 from the fl oor, knocking down three 3-pointers and going a perfect 6-of-6 from the line, while pulling down seven rebounds. Trailing 34-29 at the half, Georgia State opened the second-half on a 30-5 run and led by as many as 29-points with under three minutes to play. Redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow added 15 points and four assists, while senior Devonta White fi nished with 11 points, fi ve rebounds and fi ve assists. Sophomore Markus Crider tied a career-high, set just fi ve days ago, with 12 points and eight rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench. Georgia State (21-7, 14-1 Sun Belt) has won 18 of its last 19 games, including four in a row, and now leads Western Kentucky by three-games with just three-games to play. “I thought we came out and played with great energy in the second half,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Markus Crider played absolutely lights-out. He has stepped up over the last week and is giving us everything he can. “I am so happy for the people of Georgia State. Th is championship is for them. To be able to do this in just our third year is special. I told the guys before the game that opportunities like this do not come around every year, so you need to embrace it and take advantage of it when you can. Th ere is no doubt that they did that tonight.” UT Arlington (12-15, 7-8 Sun Belt) got 18 points from Reger Dowell, but the Mav-ericks were held to just 35.7-percent shooting, including 2-of-15 from 3-point range. It was truly a tale of two halves. In the fi rst half, the two teams changed leads 12 times and were tied on nine other occasions. Sophomore R.J. Hunter was limited to four fi rst half points and four rebounds. Aft er banging knees, he was held out of the second-half for precautionary reasons. Senior Rashaad Richardson knocked down a pair of 3-pointers in the second half to fi nish with six points in 14 minutes off the bench.

Game 29: March 1, 2014, 5:30 p.m.

GEORGIA STATE 66, TEXAS STATE 55Strahan Coliseum • San Marcos, Texas Georgia State clinched the outright Sun Belt Conference regular season title on Saturday evening with a 66-55 win over Texas State at Strahan Coliseum. It is the Panthers fi rst outright title since the 2000-01 season and clinches GSU the No. 1 seed in the Sun Belt Conference tournament which begins March 13. Four Panthers fi nished in double fi gures, led by sophomore R.J. Hunter’s 18 points, including 15 in the second half. Redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow fi nished with 14 while reigning Sun Belt Player of the Week Manny Atkins and senior Devonta White fi nished with 13 points a piece. Aft er shooting just 27.6-percent in the fi rst half, Georgia State shot 72.2-percent in the second half, making 13-of-18 fi eld goals to turn a one-point halft ime lead into an 11-point conference-clinching win. Georgia State (22-7, 15-1 Sun Belt) has now won 19 of its last 20 games, the best stretch in program history. Th e 22-wins are tied for the second most victories, tying the mark set during head coach Ron Hunter’s fi rst year, 2011-12. Th e 10 non-home court wins are also second-most in program history. Texas State fell to 8-21 and 4-12 in the Sun Belt. Senior Joel Wright came off the bench to score 12 points and pulled down seven rebounds on the Bobcats’ senior night. “Th is is a special moment for all of Georgia State,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Th is championship is for the alums, students, fans, administration and everyone associated with the program. “All season long, I have preached that if we follow the process, great things could be possible and today was the culmination of that. Our team came out in the second half on a mission and played really well. I thought our defense played well all game, but it was our off ense in the second half that won us that game.” White fi nished 5-of-7 from the fl oor, pulling down fi ve rebounds and dishing out three assists. With 128 assists this season, he moved into the top-10 in a single-season in GSU history. R.J. Hunter made 9-of-10 free throws and pulled down eight rebounds in the win. He moved into 14th on Georgia State’s all-time scoring list and his 544 points this season are the eighth most in a single-season as he is on pace for the all-time mark. Harrow, who entered the game having made 24-straight free throws, made his fi rst attempt before a miss. Th e 25-straight is the second-longest streak in program history behind Hunter’s 38-straight earlier this year. Trailing 14-7 with 8:53 to play in the fi rst half, Georgia State responded with a 16-6 run to take a 23-20 lead with 2:10 to play.

Game 30: March 4, 2014, 8 p.m.

GEORGIA STATE 79, ARKANSAS STATE 76 OTConvocation Center • Jonesboro, Ark. Senior Manny Atkins recorded his fourth double-double of the season and scored a career-high 30 points to lead Georgia State to a 79-76 overtime win at Arkansas State on Tuesday night. Due to snow and ice in Arkansas, the Panthers overcame a three and half hour bus ride that delayed the game 50 minutes to win their sixth-game in a row. Atkins fi nished 9-of-16 from the fl oor, knocking down fi ve 3-pointers and pulled down 11 rebounds, just one shy of a career-high, playing all 45 minutes of the overtime contest. Georgia State (23-7, 16-1 Sun Belt) trailed 66-63 with less than a minute to play in regulation before Ryan Harrow hit a jumper with 56 seconds to play. On the Panthers next possession, Harrow hit a lay-up to put GSU up one with 37 seconds remaining. Aft er a missed 3-pointer by Arkansas State’s Cameron Golden, Atkins made a pair of free throws that appeared to secure the win. However, with three seconds to play, Melvin Johnson III hit a 3-pointer that sent the game into overtime. In the extra period, Georgia State scored the fi rst fi ve points and free throws by Devonta White and Atkins down the stretch secured the victory. Arkansas State fell to 17-11 and 9-7 in the Sun Belt. Johnson III led the Red Wolves with 19 points, including fi ve 3-pointers. Kirk Van Slyke added 18 points. Georgia State won for the 20th time in the last 21 games, the best stretch in program history. Due to the snow and ice storm moving across the country, the Panthers spent nearly 20 hours on a bus over the course of the last three days travel-ing from Austin, Texas to Jonesboro, Ark., as fl ights were grounded in the area. “Th is team absolutely gutted out a win tonight,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Everything was against us, but our players stepped up and played championship basketball. Manny Atkins played as well as I have ever seen him play. He is fi nishing his career in the best possible way a senior can. “Th is team has some magic going on right now and if there was ever a time to sell-out this Sports Arena, this Saturday is that time. Our seniors and this team have put in so much hard work and a sell-out would be the perfect send-off for this group.” Rashaad Richardson, who was starting in the place of sophomore R.J. Hunter, fi nished with six points and tied a career-high with eight rebounds. Ron Hunter had announced before the game that R.J. would rest aft er banging his knee last week. He will be ready for the regular season fi nale on Saturday and could have played if necessary on Tuesday night. Harrow fi nished with 18 points with White chipping in 13 and dishing out six assists. White now has 401 assists in his career and became just the third Panther with 400 career assists.

GEORGIA STATE 77, WESTERN KENTUCKY 55Georgia State Sports Arena • Atlanta, Ga. In front of the fi rst home sellout crowd since 1989, the Georgia State men’s basketball team wrapped up a 17-1 league record in its fi rst year in the Sun Belt Conference as it eased by Western Kentucky 73-55 on Saturday at the GSU Sports Arena. Th e Panthers improved to 24-7 on the season and will be the No. 1 seed in the SBC Championship starting on Saturday, March 15 in New Orleans. Ryan Harrow led the way with a game-high 20 points while Devonta White, one of four Panther seniors honored before the game, added 19. Georgia State won for the 21st time in its last 22 games, the best stretch in program history. Th e Panthers went undefeated at home this year, 13-0, just the second time the team has fi nished a season with an unblemished mark at home. Th e 24-wins are the second-most in the 50-year history of the program. “Congratulations to the entire Georgia State community,” head coach Ron Hunter said to open his postgame press conference. “I am really happy for this University and to see everyone celebrate like this is just awesome. “It was a tough game to play for a lot of reasons, but I thought that once again our defense stepped up and played great. All season long we have talked about our off ense, but our defense has continued to improve and today really showed.” Georgia State led 12-11 with 12:17 to play in the fi rst half before using a 9-0 run that included a dunk and tip-in by redshirt-junior Curtis Washington to push the lead to 21-11 with 9:57 to play. Western Kentucky (20-11, 12-6 Sun Belt) would get a close as four on a free throw by Payton Hulsey with 5:15 to play in the opening half before Georgia State went into the locker room with a 34-23 lead. Georgia State kept the lead in double-fi gures for all but 15-seconds of the second half. Georgia State shot just 39.6 percent from the fi eld in what was a defensive struggle until midway through the second half. However, the Panthers turned the ball over only seven times and held the Hilltoppers to 35.1-percent shooting and 5-of-23 from 3-point range. R.J. Hunter came off the bench as GSU started senior Rashaad Richardson for the second straight game. Hunter added 12 points with two steals, helping the Panthers hold a 17-4 advantage in points off turnovers and a 14-0 lead in fast-break scoring. Washington fi nished the game with nine points, seven rebounds and three blocks. Before the game, Georgia State honored, Atkins, White, Richardson and Denny Burguillos as the four seniors played for the fi nal time at home.

GEORGIA STATE 72, ARKANSAS STATE 45Lakefront Arena • New Orleans, La. Led by a strong second half, Georgia State earned a 72-45 win over Arkansas State on Saturday aft ernoon at Lakefront Arena to advance to the Sun Belt Champi-onship Game on Sunday aft ernoon. Redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow led the Panthers with 20 points and R.J. Hunter added 16 in the win. Georgia State (25-7) won for the 22nd time in its last 23 games and will look to advance to the NCAA tournament for the fi rst time since 2001 facing either Western Kentucky or UL Lafayette. Th e Panthers have won eight straight games, tied for the third longest winning streak in program history. Harrow, who earned All-Sun Belt First Team honors on Tuesday, fi nished 9-of-14 from the fl oor, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers and dishing out four assists.Sophomore R.J. Hunter, the Sun Belt Player of the Year, added seven rounds, knock-ing down three 3-pointers. Hunter set a new single-season school 3-point record with his 95th trey of the year. He also moved into fi ft h on the single-season school scoring list with 572 points. “I thought we came out a little tight in the fi rst half, but then started to settle down as we got into the fl ow of the game,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “We spent the entire week working on our defense. Today that defense helped us pull away in the second half. “We now are one game away from our second goal and making the NCAA tournament. I know this team will be ready for the game on Sunday. We have 40 minutes to go.” Arkansas State (19-13) took an early 7-2 lead before Georgia State responded with a 9-4 run to take an 11-10 lead on a jumper by Hunter with 11:41 to play in the fi rst half. With the game tied 15-15, Georgia State used a 14-2 run to take a 29-17 lead with 3:26 to play as Harrow knocked down the fi rst of back-to-back 3-pointers.Georgia State went into the half lead 32-24 aft er making just 4-of-15 3-pointers in the fi rst half. However, the Panthers pulled away in the second half, shooting 13-of-22 (59.1-percent) and outscoring the Red Wolves 40-21 aft er the intermission.

UL LAFAYETTE 82, GEORGIA STATE 81 OTLakefront Arena • New Orleans, La. Georgia State’s 11-point lead with more than fi ve minutes to play was not enough Sunday as UL Lafayette rallied in the fi nal minute of regulation to force overtime before pulling out an 82-81 victory over the top-seeded Panthers in the Sun Belt title game. With their third win three days, the Ragin’ Cajuns (23-11) earned the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. As the regular-season champion following a 17-1 mark in its fi rst season in the Sun Belt, Georgia State is guaranteed a spot in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). Junior guard Ryan Harrow led all scorers with a career-high 37 points. Aft er starting 3 of 8 from the fl oor, the Marietta, Ga., product came alive, hitting his next eight attempts from the fl oor before fi nishing 13 of 22 and helping GSU hit 48.3 percent from the fi eld. “Aft er the game I simply told the guys how proud of them I was,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Th is game can’t take away what was an incredible season for us. We will leave this arena with our heads held high and go into the NIT looking to make our way to New York.” While the Panthers shot the ball well, it was on the glass that made the biggest diff erence for ULL. Th e Ragin’ Cajuns held a 46-30 rebounding advantage on the aft ernoon, including an amazing 20-4 lead on the off ensive glass. Th at last statistic helped UL Lafayette push the game to overtime as Shawn Long, who picked up the defensive board on the other end, got an off ensive rebound seconds later following Elfrid Payton’s missed runner. Long, who was playing with four fouls, then passed to Bryant Mbamalu, who banked a shot off the glass to tie the score with 1.4 sec-onds remaining to push it to the extra session. In the extra period, Payton took over down the stretch, scoring six straight points, including hitting his fi rst two free throws of the game aft er starting 0 for 4 at the line. Payton’s fi nal point in the run gave ULL an 80-77 lead before Harrow came back with a layup to close the gap to a one-point game. Xavier Rimmer then connected on a jumper to give the Cajuns a three-point advantage again and give him 27 points in the game, a career high. It would be just enough for ULL to get to the Big Dance as Harrow added another layup in the fi nal minute but his last-second shot in the paint came up short and the Panthers’ hopes of their fi rst NCAA tournament berth since 2001 came to an end. Rimmer started early, hitting a 3-pointer just a minute into the game that gave ULL a quick 5-0 lead. It was the fi rst of his seven 3s in the contest and had the Panthers reel-ing early. ULL went 11 of 26 from beyond the arc while GSU fi nished 5 of 19. GSU played catch up throughout the fi rst half and needed a 7-0 to cut it to 28-27 late in the opening frame before going into halft ime trailing 35-34. It was the seventh time this season GSU was behind at the break against a Sun Belt team. GSU won fi ve of those contests.

CLEMSON 78, GEORGIA STATE 66Littlejohn Coliseum • Clemson, S.C. Georgia State’s second trip to the National Invitation Tournament ended with a 78-66 loss at Clemson Tuesday night at Littlejohn Coliseum. All fi ve Georgia State starters fi nished in double fi gures led by Sun Belt Player of the Year R.J. Hunter’s 15 points. Making its fi ft h postseason appearance ever but its second in three seasons under head coach Ron Hunter, Georgia State fi nishes the season with a record of 25-9, the second-highest victory total in school history. K.J. McDaniels, the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year, led by the Tigers with 30 points, 14 rebounds and fi ve blocked shots, and Clemson (21-12) moves on to face the winner of Wednesday’s Illinois-Boston University matchup. Georgia State uncharacteristically shot just 34.3-percent from the fl oor, but continued to do what it did well all year – make free throws (13 of 14) and not turn the ball over (5). “I am so unbelievably proud of this group,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “Just 48 hours aft er a heartbreaking loss, they came out tonight and left everything they had on the court. Th is has been an unbelievable team to coach. Th ey all bought into our system and helped put Georgia State basketball back on the map.” Ryan Harrow and Devonta White scored 13 points each for GSU, Manny Atkins had 12, and Curtis Washington contributed 11 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Georgia State led briefl y in the second half, and the Panthers were within one with under 10 minutes to play before the Tigers pulled away.

G eorgia State University started its climb to the highest levels of college athletics in 2012 when it announced it would join the Sun Belt Conference. On July 1, 2013, the Panther athletic department became eligible to win championships in every league-sponsored sport and a year

later was fully reclassifi ed to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).

The Panthers’ choice for a new home was a simple process considering the trajectory of the Sun Belt Conference. With its mantra “Together We Rise,” the league exemplifi es what has become America’s most up-and-coming collegiate athletics conference.

Founded in 1976, the Sun Belt has adapted and evolved in its nearly 40-year existence. The league was originally formed as a home for some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams. With the demand for a higher national profi le, the league began sponsoring football in 2001. The move into the group of football playing conferences has given the Sun Belt Conference a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors and today the league has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics.

With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. However, football is not the only sport that has seen recent success as all of the league’s sports have contributed to the “Rise” of the Sun Belt Conference.

Georgia State put together one of the best performances in league history while winning the 2013-14 Sun Belt regular-season men’s basketball championship. Like women’s basketball, men’s teams earned three postseason bids in 2014. Baseball and softball also continue to be among the league’s standard-bearers for success. On the baseball diamond, the Sun Belt has sent up to four baseball teams to the NCAA tournament in a season, with UL Lafayette leading the way with a No. 1 national ranking in 2014. In softball, three teams have made the postseason, highlighted by the Ragin’ Cajuns who reached their sixth Women’s College World Series a year ago.

Georgia State is looking to add to that success. So far, the Panthers have brought home league titles in women’s cross country (2012), men’s tennis (2013), men’s golf (2014) and women’s tennis (2014) in addition to the men’s basketball squad’s historic run. A total of 76 players earned All-Sun Belt recognition in the Panthers’ fi rst two years back in the league.

Off the fi eld, student-athletes from around the league have been honored for their excellence in the classroom as well as their philanthropy in the community. Georgia State has added to the success since 2012-13, featuring two academic All-Americans while posting two of the highest combined grade-point averages in school history. Also in that span, Panther teams have contributed more than 5,000 hours of community service each year.
