The four-team field includes Hampton (6-4) from the MEAC, Misissippi Valley State (2-6) from the SWAC and Troy (2-9) from the Sun Belt. Games will be played at 2 and 4 p.m. both days. Hampton comes in at No.126 in the RPI with wins over James Madison, Florida and East Carolina. The Pirates are on a five-game win streak. Mississippi Valley State comes in having played officially the No. 1 toughest non-conference schedule and sit at No. 171 in the RPI with losses to two top 25 teams and four top 50 teams. They scared Arkansas before bowing, and dropped a game to Ole Miss. They opened a 15-1 lead Monday at Mississippi State before the SEC squad rallied. Troy has its two wins at home, but is winless on the road and at neutral sites this year. Georgia State comes into the Invitational 2-3 at home this year, winning its last home decision over Jacksonville State on Dec. 16. The Panthers split their home games in the Thanksgiving Tournament, bowing to Rice, in that championship game. Junior Chan Harris has been the team s leader, with 14.5 points and 10.3 rebounds, plus 18 blocked shots. She has four double-double games of the eight she has played this season. Six-foot-three veteran Marcquitta Head joined the team on Dec. 15 and should have a major impact over the remainder of the season as she works her way back into basketball condition after a two-year layoff. Freshman Kendra Long s 15 treys pace the outside shooting game. QUICK FACTS ON THE 17th ANNUAL GSU INVITATIONAL OPPONENTS HAMPTON PIRATES Current Record Website...hamptonpirates.com Location...

When GSU won last year over UT Martin and Maryland Eastern Shore, it marked GSU s 11th time to win the title in the 16 years the tournament has been played. The last team other than GSU to win the tournament was Alcorn State in the event when they hung on to topple the host Panthers, Mississippi State has become a regular and has opened the tournament with GSU the past five years, making it six straight this year. Besides GSU s 11 titles and Alcorn s, the other winners have been Georgia, Georgia Southern; (twice), Middle Tennessee, Marquette and Davidson).
