HOMEGROWN TEAMGeorgia State’s starting lineup is made up of five Georgians, four of them

from the Atlanta area. Senior Justin Billingslea of Lithia Springs (Lithia SpringsHS), junior Leonard Mendez of Smyrna (Campbell HS), junior Rashad Chase ofAtlanta (Mays HS), and sophomore Kevin Lott of Atlanta (Sandy Creek HS), allfrom metro Atlanta, join freshman D.J. Jones of Hinesville, Ga. (WilkinsonCounty HS).

Of the 15 players on the Panthers’ roster (including four transfers who aresitting out this season), 10 are from the state of Georgia, eight of them from metroAtlanta. In addition to the probable starters, Georgia State’s reserves from theAtlanta area are sophomores Trae Goldston of Decatur (Redan HS beforetransferring to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.), Ousman Krubally of Atlanta(W.D. Mohammed HS) and Michael Moynihan of Roswell (Centennial HS), andfreshman Jihad Ali of Atlanta (M.L. King HS). Junior transfer Joe Dukes ofCuthbert (Randolph-Clay HS) rounds out the Peach Staters.

Three Georgia State players led their respective high school teams to statetitles in Georgia in Chase (Mays, Class AAAA in 2004 and 2005), Dukes(Randolph-Clay, 2005 Class A) and Jones (Wilkinson County, 2007 Class A).

FRESHMAN STEPS UPMoving into the starting lineup at point guard is freshman D.J. Jones, who

has started the last five games for the Panthers. He scored a career-high ninepoints against Winston-Salem State, after handing nine assists one game earlieragainst Georgia Tech. Although he has struggled offensively, averaging just 3.1points, he contributes 3.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. He hasimproved to an average of 6.3 points for the last three contests.

In the Panthers’ win over Troy, Jones contributed six points, six rebounds,five assists and two blocked shots. Most importantly, he sealed the win as hestepped up to the free throw line with six seconds left and State ahead by threepoints and drilled both free throws for the final 97-92 margin.

The Hinesville, Ga., native turned in clutch play in the Panthers’ win atJacksonville. Handling the point for most of the second half, he had two points,four rebounds, two assists and three steals. With State clinging to a three-pointlead with 14 seconds left, he rebounded Rashad Chase’s missed free throw, gotfouled and then sank a free throw to make it a two-possession game.

“OUSS” IS LOOSEAfter playing just four minutes all of last season, sophomore Ousman

Krubally (pronounced OOOSS-maan crew-BAH-lee) has earned a role as areserve in the Georgia State frontcourt. He is the Panthers’ second-leadingrebounder, averaging 4.0 rebounds, along with 3.4 points and 0.9 steals per game.

The 6-6 forward from Atlanta, whose parents are natives of Gambia, joinedthe program as a walk-on just prior to last season but played in only three games.

Krubally’s top games include a career-high 11 points at Florida State, andthen a career-best 14 rebounds against Troy.

MENDEZ CONNECTS FROM LONG RANGEJunior guard Leonard Mendez, a preseason honorable mention all-

conference selection, led the Colonial Athletic Association in three-point shootinglast season, connecting on 47.5 percent from beyond the arc. Mendez hit 58 of122 three-pointers to set a school-record for three- point accuracy in a season.His average of 1.9 treys per game ranked seventh in the CAA.

This season, Mendez is currently 10th in the league in three-point percentage(.385) and eighth in three-pointers per game (2.0).

Mendez’s career mark stands at 43.7 percent, just off the Georgia Staterecord if he can maintain that pace.

Game 1:UAB 86, GEORGIA STATE 6611/10/07 8:00 pm at Atlanta, Ga. (Georgia State Sports Arena)

Robert Vaden scored 26 points on eight three-pointers to lead UAB to an 86-63victory over Georgia State in the season opener for both teams.

Although the debut for Georgia State head coach Rod Barnes did not produce avictory, the Panthers, bolstered by 24 points from Leonard Mendez, trailed by just fourpoints with less than eight minutes play.

After playing an even first half, Georgia State fell behind by 17 points, trailing60-43 with 12:26 to play before outscoring the Blazers, 16-3, over the next fiveminutes. Senior Justin Billingslea completed a pair of three-point plays to begin therun, which brought the Panthers within 63-59 at the 7:42 mark.

Leading by just five at 65-60 with seven minutes to go, UAB erupted for 15straight points to build a 79-60 lead with 2:43 to play.

“I felt for 32 minutes we did everything we needed to do to win,” said Barnes.“The last six or seven minutes, however, we made some critical mistakes that allowedthem to make some easy baskets down the stretch.

“Although we didn’t get the win, the guys gained a tremendous amount ofconfidence. We just have to work harder on our mistakes and develop consistency.”

Mendez connected on 10-for-15 from the field, including two three-pointers,while contributing six rebounds and three steals. Junior Rashad Chase had a double-double for the Panthers with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Sophomore guard TraeGoldston added 10 points, despite picking up his third foul in the first half.

UAB, predicted to finish second in Conference USA behind Memphis, had fourplayers in double figures, including Vaden, the Indiana transfer who connected on 8-for-13 from three-point range in his first game for the Blazers. Reggie Huffman had adouble-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Walter Sharpe and PaulDelaney added 13 points each. UAB shot 55 percent for the game.

State fell behind by as many as 10 points in the first half and trailed 36-27 withfour-and-a-half minutes to go in the period. But the Panthers scored the final fivepoints of the half, including a jumper by Mendez with one second left that tied thescore at 37-all heading into the intermission.

“Give Elon a lot of credit because they did a good job,” said Georgia Statehead coach Rod Barnes. “It’s unfortunate that we didn’t show up and give thema game, and I take responsibility for that. It’s unacceptable. We weren’taggressive all night, and that’s going to catch up to you. They jumped on us early,like a home team should, and they finished us off.

“With such an inexperienced team, I was a little worried about how theywould respond to going on the road for the first time, but that shouldn’t be anexcuse. We’ve got to get our players to understand what it takes to go on theroad and get a win.”

Elon scored the first 11 points of the game and built a 25-11 advantage witheight minutes to play in the half. The Panthers managed to pull within 28-22 onTrae Goldston’s three-pointer with 2:53 left in the half but Elon got a pair of freethrows from Watson to take a 34-24 lead into the intermission.Goldston added nine points for Panthers, while Norman Mitchell came off thebench to score seven.

Game 6:OLD DOMINION 72, GEORGIA STATE 6412/1/07 7:30 p.m. Atlanta, Ga. (Georgia State Sports Arena)

Brian Henderson scored 19 points and three other players reached doublefigures to lead Old Dominion to a 72-64 victory over Georgia State in the ColonialAthletic Association opener for both teams at the Georgia State Sports Arena.

Leonard Mendez scored 16 points and Justin Billingslea added 13 to leadthe Panthers, who built an eight-point lead in the first half, then fell behind byas many as 15in the second half before fighting back to within five in the finalminute.

“I thought we gave good effort tonight, despite the fact that we lost to asenior-laden Old Dominion team,” said Georgia State head coach Rod Barnes.“We came out making baskets and executing well on both sides of the ball. Thenwe had a let down late in the first half, where they really hurt us with offensiverebounds and second chance opportunities.”

Georgia State shot 52 percent in the first half, including four three-pointers,as the Panthers built a 28-20 lead on Trae Goldston’s three-point basket withsix minutes left in the half. But ODU outscored State 23-4 over the rest of thehalf to take a 43-32 advantage into the locker room.

The Monarchs grew their lead to 15 points in the second half and still led65-51 with 6:41 to play when Georgia State scored 10 straight points to pullwithin 65-60 on Billinglea’s basket at the 3:13 mark. Billingslea had four pointson the run, Kevin Lott his a three-pointer and Deven Dickerson added a basket,but the Panthers could get no closer as ODU made free throws down the stretchto seal the win.

“I really thought Georgia State played with a lot of emotion and shot lightsout early,” said ODU head coach Blaine Taylor, whose squad was coming offconsecutive losses to top-ranked North Carolina, No. 6 Louisville and No. 5Georgetown. “ I’m not sure if we hadn’t been through what we have been throughrecently with our schedule that we would be able to measure up. I think a lot ofpeople are going to have a hard time coming to Georgia State and winning.”

Georgia State outrebounded ODU, 36-25, but the Monarchs nailed eightthree-pointers and hit 16-of-22 from the free throw line. Another bright spot forState was the play of Deven Dickerson, who saw his first significant action as hecontinues his recovery from an offseason knee injury. The 6-9 senior contributedeight points, five rebounds and a block in 16 minutes of action.

Game 7:GEORGIA TECH 72, GEORGIA STATE 6712/5/07 9 p.m. Atlanta, Ga. (Georgia State Sports Arena)

Lewis Clinch scored 22 points and Georgia Tech rallied in the secondhalf to hold off Georgia State, 72-67, before a crowd of 3,279 at theGeorgia State Sports Arena.

Behind 20 points from Leonard Mendez, the Panthers led by as manyas eight points in the second half before Clinch hit a game-tying three-pointer and then a jumper in the lane to put the Yellow Jackets ahead,58-56, with six minutes to play. That bucket capped a 13-5 lead and gaveTech its first lead of the second half.

Mendez made two free throws to tie it up again, but Zach Peacockscored for Tech on the inside, and the Jackets led the rest of the way.

Georgia State’s last chance came after Peacock was whistled for atechnical with 2:01 remaining. Mendez made two free throws to pull thePanthers within 64-62, and they got the ball back with six seconds lefton the shot clock but were unable to get off a shot.

Clinch wrapped it up at the foul line, hitting a pair of free throws with3.7 seconds remaining to seal the win in Tech’s first trip to the GeorgiaState campus since 1973.

“I don’t want to take anything away from the kids because they gavea very valiant effort. We played well against a good Georgia Tech team,but we are not looking for moral victories; we are trying to win every timewe step on the floor,” said Georgia State head coach Rod Barnes.

Mendez was one of three double-figure scorers for the Panthers, whogot a career-high 14 points from Kevin Lott and 12 points and eightrebounds from Rashad Chase. Freshman point guard D.J. Jones handedout nine assists for Georgia State.

“I think we are making strides each game, but we are far from beingat the level we want to be,” said Barnes. “We have teams in ourconference beating ACC and SEC teams on a daily basis, and that’s thelevel we are trying to get to.”

“Rod Barnes, I know, is going to do a great job,” said Tech head coachPaul Hewitt. “They were a typical Rod Barnes team. They are physical,they play with some toughness, and they’re just going to get better.”


Game 8:WINSTON-SALEM ST. 67, GEORGIA STATE 6112/8/07 7:30 p.m. Winston-Salem, N.C. (Lawrence Joel Coliseum)

Georgia State trailed most of the game, falling behind by as many as13 points in the second half. The Panthers fought back to pull withinthree points at 57-54 on Billingslea’s layup with 4:32 to play. State nearlyhad a stop on the other end, but Puckett hit a three-pointer from thecorner with the shot clock about to expire to extend the Winston-SalemState lead to six. Mendez answered with a bucket on the other end, butthe Panthers could get no closer. Puckett made another basket and thenfive free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

“After two tough losses, we didn’t come out with the same intensitytonight that we showed against Georgia Tech,” said State head coach RodBarnes, whose squad fell to the Yellow Jackets by five points Wednesday.

“We’ve got to play well and play hard from start to finish. If we dothat, we’re a good team. Tonight we were not a good team. We’ve got tolearn from this.

“Give Winston-Salem State credit. They a quick, athletic team, andthey hit big shots when they had to. But we didn’t give the effort that weneeded to.”

The Rams outrebounded State, 36-32, forced 18 Panther turnoversand helped themselves by hitting 22 of 27 from the free throw line.

The Panthers trailed by as many as eight points in the first half, fallingbehind 33-25 before Chase’s three-point basket with five seconds leftmade the score 33-28 at the intermission.

“We made shots in the first half because we worked hard on offenseto get good shots, but then we lost our intensity in the second half,” saidGeorgia State head coach Rod Barnes, who saw his squad shoot 54percent and make eight of 13 threes in the first half. “The moreaggressive team in the second half won the game.”State committed only 12 turnovers for the game, but they came at crucialtimes during Coastal’s second-half comeback , leading to 20 points forthe Chanticleers.

“We had some very untimely turnovers against their pressure in thesecond half,” said Barnes. “It’s a very disappointing loss because weworked on that press all week in practice. We did a good job handling itin the first half but obviously not in the second half. We let a game getaway that we should have won.”

Leonard Mendez scored points for the Panthers, while Rashad Chasehad eight points and nine rebounds.
