3 GEORGIA STATE GAME NOTES CAA Tournament - March Madness in the CAA takes place in Richmond from Friday, March 2 through Monday night s championship game on March 5. Games are played at the Richmond Coliseum. Last year, UNC Wilmington defeated Hofstra in the championship game to earn the NCAA bid. How did Cinderella George Mason get to the Final Four? They got an at large bid after beating Georgia State in overtime and bowing to Hofstra in the semi finals. That s why it s Madness. Hofstra and Old Dominion each got postseason NIT bids and advanced to the final eight of that event as the CAA had four teams in postseason play. Tickets are on sale now through the Georgia State Ticket Office ( and 866-GA-STATE). The ticket package for the entire tournament and every game is $60.

Georgia State is one of the CAA s younger teams as 12 of the 14 members of this year s team should be back for next season. The Panthers have six freshmen, two sophomores and four juniors playing this season. Of the 130 possible starts this year through the 26 games, 95 of those starts (73%) have been by the underclassmen.

TAKING BETTER CARE OF THE BALL Through the first 12 games, State s lowest turnover game was 12 (vs. Savannah State) with 8 games of 16 or more turnovers (5 games over 20). For 5 straight games and 6 of 7 games, they had 12 or fewer turnovers in each game. The only one over 12 was 15. However, in the past 7 games they have turned the ball over 16, 18, 14, 23, 16, 22 and 15 times, an average of 17.7 per game.

5 GEORGIA STATE GAME NOTES FAST FACTS ON THIS SEASON Panthers have used 12 different starting line-ups and rarely starts the same five back-to-back in the combinations. The most any five have been together is four times. Panthers have come-from-behind after being down at halftime to win 5 games this year. Panthers posted back-to-back CAA wins for the first time in winning at UNC Wilmngton and Delaware. Panthers swept a season CAA series for the first time with two wins this year vs. UNC Wilmington. The lead has changed hands the most this year 13 times vs. Charleston, 11 times vs. Towson and WSSU, 9 with Northeastern, 8 with Savannah, and 6 times each vs. Hofstra, Iowa, and Alabama State. Significant Sophomores Georgia State has two starting sophomores on this year s roster and they are both making major contributions. Rashad Chase, No. 1, was an All-CAA Rookie and started 16 games as a freshman. This year, the 6-7 forward: Leads team in rebounding (174, 6.7) - 8th CAA Leads team offense rebs. (68) - 4th CAA 5 double-doubles this year (7 career) Top games of 24 and 23 points - 12 double figures, Top games of 15, 12, 12, 12, 11 and 11 rebounds His 184 points and 124 rebounds after just the first 16 games tpped last year s final season totals in All-Rookie season. Leonard Mendez, No. 21, is the team captain this year. He started 11 of the final 12 games last year (allowed Senior to start on senior night) and has missed the Drexel game this year with flu. Here is what the 6-4 guard has done this year: Hit double figures in 20 of the 25 games he has played, averaging 12.7 on the year (16th CAA) Co-LEADS the CAA in three-point shooting (.455) with Top games of 21 and 20 points, three games each with 19 points 9th in the CAA in minutes played (35.0) and 9th in field goal percentage (.479) Scored in double figures in 15 of last 16 games

6 GEORGIA STATE GAME NOTES A HOT HAND Senior forward Lance Perique has been doing what he does best: scoring points. He has played multiple positions this season to help the team. The 6-8 slasher s season inludes: Leads the team with his 15.8 point season average, 6th CAA Top scoring games of 29, 26, 23, 22, 20, 19, 19, 19 and 19 Has scored in double figures in 20 games. Top rebounding games of 14, 10, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 7 and 7 this season Leads the team in FG percentage (.498), 6th CAA Hit 124-of-184 free throws (2nd most attempts in CAA this season). Made 14 straight at one point with a perfect game of 10-for-10 in that streak. Family lost home and posssesions in Hurricane Katrina, but sur vived and lived in Atlanta for a year before returning Perique led the state of Louisiana in high school with his 27 points per game average and a top game of 45 points for Kennedy High in New Orleans. In JUCO ball, Perique averaged 16.7 for the season at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. WHAT S NEW? Georgia State added a new assistant coach, Mark Macon, on the SI cover at right. The former All-American guard at Temple is still the Atlantic-10 Conference s alltime leading scorer and was No. 20 in NCAA history when he graduated. Macon helped Temple to a 32-2 season and a No. 1 regular season ranking.. State welcomed seven new players, including two junior college transfers and five freshmen, into the program. With four senior guards gone from last year, the Panthers looked closely at the play of the new guards to determine the playing rotation time for the season. Wing Ryan McBride, left, is one of those seven new faces. He has scored 173 points this season with his 35 three-point baskets.

12 Georgia State Names Chavelo Holmes As 2007 CAA Legend Georgia State athletics has chosen Chavelo Holmes as the 2007 Legend who will be honored at the upcoming Colonial Athletic Association basketball championship. Holmes, a Panthers star in the mid 1980 s, will be honored at the Letterman s Day Homecoming Game on Saturday, Feb. 17, and then travel with the team to the CAA Championships on Mar. 2 at the annual Awards Banquet for his recognition by the league with a Legend from every member school. It actually brought tears to my eyes to know that I was remembered and appreciated, Holmes noted. This was a great moment to share with my family and for my four daughters to understand dad was once a good athlete and college student. When he walked on the campus of Georgia State without a scholarship, he was a nobody who just wanted to play basketball. When he walked off the campus, he was a somebody who had just scored the most points and grabbed the most rebounds in school history. And, most important, he had earned a college degree. It was in 1981 that Chavelo Holmes had earned a college scholarship at Georgia State after a simple summer workout in the gym with the new head coach, Jim Jarrett. He wasn t a hot-shot recruit but he knew he could succeed if given a chance. Holmes had played his prep basketball at Elmwood High in Buffalo, N. Y., but when his family moved to Atlanta, he began classes at Georgia State on his own. By the time the 6-4, 180-pound Holmes finished the season, he had set the all-time Georgia State record for points scored (1,375) and for most rebounds (505) as well as playing in the most games ever (105). Twenty years later, Holmes still ranks No. 3 in scoring, No. 6 in games played and No. 9 in rebounds. As a Panthers freshmen, the youngster averaged a quiet 6.6 points a game, but did earn 13 starts. As a sophomore, Holmes led the team with a stellar 18.3 points per game and a 5.7 rebound average. His 495 points scored were a new school record for a season and his per game average was sixth-best ever. The sophomore had one game he can always remember, and truthfully say, that he outscored Michael Jordan. When the Panthers went to Chapel Hill to play the No. 3 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels, Holmes led Georgia State with 20 points. Number 23 for Carolina and soon-to-be NBA legend Jordan scored just 16 points that evening. That sophomore year, Holmes had a 36-point game (vs. Baptist) that was the sixth highest scoring game in school history at that time. As a junior, Holmes scored 383 points on the season and was on the team that went to Tennessee and upset the Volunteers, 52-50, in a major upset. The 0-5 Panthers had gone into Rocky Top country after losing to Oklahoma and SMU by more than 30 points. Holmes upped his personal best for a game to 38 points (vs. Florida A&M) that tied for third most in school history. His senior season saw him average 13.9 points a game to up his final scoring total to 1,375 points and made him the highest scorer in Panthers history. Chavelo Holmes is one of the best pure shooters that Georgia State has ever had, 24-year Panthers radio veteran Dave Cohen remembers. And he played before the three-point shot, so some of his baskets counted as two s that today would count as three s. Once a player, always a player, Holmes still plays basketball in an Over- 35 Atlanta City League where he still shows his scoring abilities and thrives on the competition. Holmes earned his Georgia State degree in urban studies and has worked two decades in Atlanta as a real estate manager of multi-family homes and apartment complexes and is also a licensed realtor. Holmes notes that one of his primary goals at this time is getting his four daughters through college to earn their degrees.
