Internet: Live stats at GeorgiaStateSports.com Georgia State will begin a stretch of three-straight road games on Saturday at George Mason, facing the Patriots live on CSS at 4 p.m. from the Patriot Center. It marks the only time the two schools will meet each other this season and the second straight year the teams will only meet in Fairfax. Georgia State (13-14, 8-6 CAA) earned an 18-point point victory over Hofstra on Wednesday night and has won seven of its last 10 games. George Mason (15-10, 8-5 CAA) rallied to score a victory at Drexel on Thursday night and will be playing its second game in less than 48 hours. Coming off of a career-high 26 points just a week ago against Towson, redshirt-junior Manny Atkins showed once again why he is a candidate for All-CAA honors this season. On Wednesday against the Pride, Atkins just missed a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds while swiping three steals. The Virginia Tech transfer has just missed five double-doubles by one rebound this season and another four by just two boards. Despite struggling on offense on Wednesday, Manny and several others stepped up on defense which got us the victory, commented head coach Ron Hunter. When you can force your opponent into 22 turnovers and swipe 14 steals, you are going to get some easy baskets and we were able to take advantage of that. Freshman R.J. Hunter swept CAA Player and Rookie of the Week honors last week to go along with Lou Henson National Player of the Week honors. Hunter has solidified CAA Rookie of the Year honors and is making a push for All-CAA First Team honors and Freshman All-America honors. R.J. Hunter, the only son of head coach Ron Hunter is averaging a team-high 17.1 points per game and 18.7 points in CAA-only games, which is third in the conference. He is also collecting 5.3 rebounds per game, the 19th best mark in the CAA. Hunter is making 2.4 three-pointers per game, third in the league and shooting 37.1 percent from beyond the PROBABLE STARTERS Pos # Name...Ht Wt Cl.

Season). 3 (2000, 2001, 2002) Conference Tournament Titles...2 (1991, 2001) arc, fourth in the conference and 50th in the nation. Hunter continues to lead all CAA freshmen in scoring and rebounding and is one of just five freshmen in the country averaging at least 17.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. He is in an elite group that includes the likes of UCLA s Shabazz Muhammad, UNLV s Anthony Bennett and Arizona State s Jahii Carson. He is currently fourth in the nation among all freshmen scorers and 60th overall. Hunter is averaging the most points of any CAA freshmen since the season. He is also on pace to score the most points of any GSU freshmen ever. With four games remaining, he has scored 463 points and is just 52 points shy Matt O Brien s mark of 515. Hunter, along with Atkins are among the top four in the conference in three-point shooting, as the Panthers are second in the league as a team making 36.1 percent from behind the arc, the 71st best percentage in the NCAA. GSU is making 7.0 three-pointers per game, second in the CAA. R.J. Hunter is also among the CAA leaders in free throw percentage, steals, blocked shots and defensive rebounds. Our young players are producing at a much better level the second half of the season, continued Hunter. R.J. has had a very good season, but our other freshmen, David Travers, Markus Crider, T.J. Shipes and LaRon Smith, are really stepping up to give us better minutes off the bench and that is what we need to be successful. Travers tied a career-high with eight points in 13 minutes on Wednesday, while Smith came off the bench to play a career-high 14 minutes, going 4-of-6 from the free throw line and blocking a shot. Junior point guard Devonta White, who earned Preseason All-CAA Second Team honors before the season and was also named to the Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award Watch List by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, is fourth in the CAA in minutes played (36.2) and tied for fourth in steals per game, averaging 1.7 per game. White is second on the team in scoring, averaging 14.3 points per game, 10th in the CAA, while dishing out 3.9 assists, third most in the league. He has dished out 64 assists in his last 12 games, including four games of at least seven assists. One of three team captains, White, who missed 10 games during his freshman season due to an injury, is just 71 points away from becoming the 17th Panther with 1,000 career points. He is just off pace to eclipse that mark by the end of the year, needing to average 17.8 points per game in the remaining regular season contests. Manny Atkins, from nearby Tucker, Ga., is averaging 14.2 points and 6.3 rebounds per game this season, both among the top 12 in the CAA. He is third in the CAA in three-point field goal percentage, hitting 41.9 percent from beyond the arc and is sixth in the CAA making 1.8 three-pointers per game. He is third in the CAA hitting 82.7 percent from the free throw line, including an 86.7 percent mark in CAA only games. Atkins is 78th in free throw percentage in the nation in the latest rankings released on Monday. Lone senior James Vincent played in his 113th game on Wednesday to move into a tie for seventh on the all-time games played list. He is second on GSU s all-time blocked shots list with 129 and his 67 blocked shots this season are the third most in a single season in GSU history. He is leading the CAA averaging 2.5 blocked shots per game, which also ranks 34th in the NCAA this year. George Mason is led by Sherrod Wright, averaging 17.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 46.9 percent from the floor. Wright is the only Patriot averaging in double-figures, while Jonathan Arledge, Johnny Williams and Bryon Allen each average around seven points per contest. Following Saturday s contest, the Panthers will remain in Virginia to take on William & Mary on Monday night at 7 p.m. A PERFECT 300 With his 300th win earlier this season at Liberty, coach Ron Hunter joined an elite group of young coaches. He won his 300 in just his 535th game coaching. Hunter will turn 49 on April 7, In his impressive career, Hunter has had five 20-plus win seasons and led three teams to the postseason.

3 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 3) TOP HONORS...NO QUESTION Freshman R.J. Hunter is having an extremely special type of rookie season. Already a lock for CAA Rookie of the Year earning rookie of the week honors six times, Hunter is now a serious contender for CAA Player of the Year, All-CAA First Team honors and Freshman All-America honors. He earned his first CAA Player of the Week honor on Feb. 2, while also being named the Lou Henson National Player of the Week. He leads the CAA with 11 games of 20 or more points this season and is one of just five players in the conference to score at least 30 points in a game this season. Below are several notes related to Hunter this season. NATIONAL HONORS Hunter earned the Lou Henson National Player of the Week award on Feb. 4 as announced by by CollegeInsider.com. The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the top Mid- Major player in Division I college basketball. Hunter swept CAA Player and Rookie of the Week honors on Monday and was also named the CAA Player of the Week by College Sports Madness. The award is named in honor of Lou Henson who retired after a spectacular coaching career that lasted 41 years. When he left the game in 2005 he was sixth all-time in career Division I wins with 779. A DICKIE V DIAPER DANDY Freshman R.J. Hunter, who is averaging 17.1 points per game this season, fourth in the CAA and currently tied for fifth in the nation among all freshmen in scoring. Hunter has scored 20 or more points 11 times already this season, including three straight with a career-high 38 against Old Dominion on Feb. 2. He is averaging 18.7 points per game in CAA play, third in the league. In Dick Vitale s latest ranking of Diaper Dandy s on Jan. 8th, he mentioned: One unsung diaper dandy is R.J. Hunter of Georgia State, a guard who is playing for his father, Ron Hunter. He is also the godson of former NBA star Ron Harper. Hunter is averaging 15.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game for the Panthers, and posted a double-double in his college debut against Duke. On Jan. 17th, ESPN listed its top 25 freshmen in the country with Hunter being list at No. 21, just behind Duke s Rasheed Sulimon. Hunter is one of just five freshmen in the nation averaging at least 17.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. UNDER THE RADAR PERFORMANCE Sports Illustrated writer Seth Davis commented on Hunter s performance after scoring 38 naming him the Under the Radar Performer of the Week. He said of Hunter: Could it be that Doug McDermott is only the second-best player coach s son in America? If Hunter keeps playing the way he did last week, that idea might not seem so far-fetched. The son of Panthers coach Ron Hunter did his old man a solid by turning down the likes of Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Iowa to play for Georgia State, where R.J. has averaged 17.3 points on 37.2 percent three-point shooting this season. Last week, he set a pair of career highs as he lit up league-leading Northeastern and Old Dominion for 27 and 38 points, respectively. Those performances were especially impressive considering they were both on the road. Those games marked the ninth and tenth times this season that Hunter has scored 23 points or more. RECORD SETTING PERFORMANCE Freshman R.J. Hunter poured in a career-high 38 points, including a school and Colonial Athletic Association record 10 three-pointers on Feb. 2 as GSU dismantled Old Dominion, Hunter, one of the top freshman scorers in the nation, hit 10-of-15 shots from beyond the arc and 12-of-18 overall. His 38-point effort is the high for any CAA player this season and the most by a Georgia State player since Anton Reese scored 38 against Kansas State on Nov. 28, Only six Panthers have ever scored more points in a game. At one-point in the second half, Hunter scored 19-straight Panther points with five three-pointers, two free throws and a dunk. The 10 treys by Hunter equalled the CAA record originally set by Dre Smith of George Mason, who hit 10 against James Madison on Jan. 19, As a team, Georgia State nailed 16 three-pointers, the secondmost in any game in school history. The GSU record is 21 versus West Florida on Dec. 12, 2003, and the Panthers had not hit as many as 16 since AMONG THE BEST With a three-pointer against Towson, freshman R.J. Hunter moved into the top 10 in three-pointers in a single season in Georgia State history. Hunter has already made a team-high 65 three-pointers this season and is now tied with Kevin Morris for 10th on the single season list. Hunter made a single-game record 10 three-pointers against Old Dominion, topping the THREE-POINT FIELD GOALS Player...Season 3P 1.

Hunter Kevin Morris record of nine held by Kevin Morris, Thomas Terrell and Anton Reese. SIX-STAR FRESHMAN Freshman R.J. Hunter is only three months into his collegiate career and he has already earned CAA Rookie of the Week honors six times this season. Hunter also earned his first CAA Player of the Week honor on Feb. 2 after averaging 32.5 points in two Panther wins against first place Northeastern and Old Dominion. Hunter has more than the total number of CAA Rookie of the Week honors earned by GSU in the last seven years since joining the league. He is now just two behind the CAA Rookie of the Weeks record of eight times set by Hofstra s Antoine Agudio during the season. His latest honor on Feb. 4 came after averaging 32.5 points, including a career-high 38 points against Old Dominion. At the time, it was the most points scored by a freshman in the country this season. He made 10 three-pointers, a school-record which also tied for the most in CAA history. This followed a 27-point performance at Northeastern, as the Panthers became the first team to defeat the Huskies in CAA play this season. His Jan. 28 honor came after he averaged 18.0 points and 4.0 rebounds leading the Panthers to a pair of wins. Hunter shot 84.2 percent from the free throw line while dishing out eight assists, swiping four steals and blocking three shots, hitting the gamewinning shot at Towson before blocking the Tigers last second attempt at victory.

4 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 4) Jan. 7: he averaged 21.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in the Panthers first two CAA games on Jan. 7th. Dec. 24: he earned the honor after averaging 23.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in two games for GSU against Southern Miss and Rhode Island. He earned his first honor in his first collegiate game collecting a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds in the Panthers loss to No. 8 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Nov. 12. He earned the award again on Nov. 26 after leading the Panthers to three-straight wins as part of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. He scored a season-high 25 points to cap the week against South Alabama. AMONG THE BEST Freshman R.J. Hunter is having one of the best freshman seasons in school history. He has scored 463 points this season, just 52 shy of the freshmen school record. Here is how he compares to some other GSU greats: : Matt O Brien set the freshman mark with 515 points in 28 games (18.4 per game). His bests were 38, 33 and 32 and he had 10 games with 20 or more points. O Brien scored in double figures in 23 of the 28 games : James Andrews scored 329 points, averaging 11.8 for GSU, shooting 42.0 percent from the floor. He finished his threeyear career with 1,279 points, the fourth most in Panther history : Rodney Hamilton (all-time leading scorer) scored 279 points in his first season en route to 1,515 for this career. He shot 41.1 percent from the floor and 77.0 percent from the free throw line during the year. BEST CAA FRESHMAN EVER? R.J. Hunter is playing at an incredible level for a first-year player, exceeding most people s expectations. Hunter is the leading candidate for the CAA Rookie of the Year award. How does his season stack up to past winners? If it holds, his 17.1 points per game average would be highest since Brett Blizzard s 15.6 ppg in PPG RPG FG Pct. 3PFG Pct.

The Panthers played three teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2012, including opening at No. 8 (ESPN) Duke followed by BYU. The Panthers also hosted Southern Miss. Georgia State already topped future Sun Belt foe South Alabama, as the Jaguars were receiving votes in the ESPN Coaches poll at the time. Georgia State s strength of schedule reached as high as 19th earlier this season. IF THEY ARE FREE... Against Delaware and William & Mary, Georgia State shot an impressive from the free throw line, a 91.4 percent make rate. After struggling from the line earlier in the year, the Panthers are making 78.9 percent in CAA play, upping their season average to 71.9 percent. Georgia State had a streak of 18 straight makes come to an end at Old Dominion, finishing the game 16-of-22. Best streaks this year: Devonta White - 20 straight (dating back to last year, ended at Duke) Manny Atkins - 19 straight (came to an end at UNCW on Feb. 6) - 15 straight (came to an end 1/21 at Towson) R.J. Hunter - 15 straight (came to an end 1/23 vs. UNCW) The school record is 23 straight made by Nate Williams from Jan. 13-Feb. 12, MOVING ON UP... This will mark Georgia State s final season in the Colonial Athletic Association. As of July 1, 2013, the Panthers will join the highly-competitive Sun Belt Conference, led by new Commissioner Karl Benson. Due to a 12-year old CAA rule, the Panthers, along with Old Dominion which is moving to Conference USA, will not be eligible for the CAA Tournament in March. However, Georgia State is eligible for all postseason tournaments, including the NCAA and NIT. WHITE NAMED TO TOP LIST Junior point guard and captain Devonta White was named to the Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Dec. 20, the second year in a row a Panther has been named to the list. Before the season, White picked up a pair of preseason honors, being named to the All-CAA Preseason Second Team and College Sports Madness All-CAA Third Team. Last season, James Fields was named to the same list as he finished his career playing the second most games in school history.

5 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 5) BLOCK PARTY Senior James Vincent tied the school record with nine blocked shots against Monmouth on Nov. 19 and record eight blocked shots against James Madison on Jan. 5. Nicknamed Oak, the 6-10 big fella tied the record of Sylvestor Morgan that was set against Mercer on Jan. 23, He currently has 67 blocks this season, a 2.5 per game average, most in the CAA. MOST IMPROVED Georgia State finished the season among the most improved in the country. The Panthers finished plus-10 in wins, concluding with the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. The Panthers finished the season CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR MOST BLOCKED SHOTS - GAME 9 James Vincent vs. Monmouth Sylvester Morgan vs. Mercer James Vincent vs. James Madison Eric Buckner vs. FIU Redshirt-junior Manny Atkins has had a very special season already this year, but a rebound here or there could make it even more special. Atkins recorded his first double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds at Drexel on Jan. 26. Atkins has missed a double-double five times already this season by just one rebound, including Wednesday night against Hofstra, scoring 13 points and grabbing nine rebounds. He has also missed four more games that he missed by two rebounds. IF he had secured all of those double-doubles, he would be tied for 16th in the country in the lastest NCAA rankings.

CENTENNIAL GAME Georgia State University will celebrate its 100th year anniversary during To help kick-off the festivities in January, the Panthers played the Centennial Game on Jan. 12 against Delaware, falling in a heartbreaker, Trailing by 11 with under two minutes to play, GSU mounted a furious comeback to tie the score at 83-all before Delaware s Devon Saddler hit a three-pointer with 0.8 seconds remaining to secure the win. Check out 100.gsu.edu for more information. GOING BAREFOOT Coach Ron Hunter coached his sixth annual barefoot game in support of Samaritan s Feet against William & Mary on Jan. 16 at the GSU Sports Arena. After trailing by 14 in the first half, the Panthers stormed back to earn a victory against the Tribe. Last year, his first with the Panthers, GSU earned a victory over UNCW while wearing orange jerseys to help raise awareness for the cause. Hunter has coached a game in his bare feet in each of the last five seasons in support of Samaritan s Feet, an organization that provides shoes for underprivileged children around the world. ELITE COMPANY With his start against Drexel on Jan. 2, James Vincent played in his 100th game in a Panther uniform.

FATHER & SON For the first time in R.J. Hunter s career, his father will be coaching him on the sidelines. Although R.J. spent plenty of time watching his dad coach while at IUPUI for 17 years, the youngest Hunter was never coached by dad Ron at any level. The duo is one of just seven pairs of father and son pairs in the NCAA this year. The group includes: Steve & Kory Alford New Mexico Jim & Billy Baron Canisius Ron & R.J. Hunter Georgia State Greg & Doug McDermott Creighton Ray & Ray McCallum Detroit Dale & Ethan Layer Liberty Todd & Blake Bozeman Morgan State HELPING OTHERS The Georgia State basketball staff and players traveled to South Africa in early August for a different kind of overseas trip. Rather than playing games, the team, working with Samaritan s Feet, distributed shoes to children in South Africa. Coach Hunter, who is heavily involved with Samaritan s Feet, made his sixth trip abroad and first with his Panther squad. He previously brought his IUPUI team to Lima, Peru several years ago. During the 10-day trip, Georgia State did several shoe distributions. There was also some free time worked into the trip that allowed the team to see the national aquarium, go on a safari and visit Cape Point, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans connect.

6 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 6) A NEW ERA OF GSU BASKETBALL After being named the 15th head coach of Georgia State on March 21, 2011, Ron Hunter set out to change the culture of Panther basketball and he did that in his first year. Compiling a record, Hunter won the second most games in school history, only behind the 29 wins of Charles Lefty Driesell during the season that ended in the NCAA Tournament. Hunter s squad also put together an 11-game winning streak, capped with wins over CAA preseason favorite Drexel and 2011 Final Four squad VCU. The year ended with the Panthers returning to postseason play and earning the school s second-ever postseason victory, a thumping of Tennessee Tech to open the CollegeInsider. com Postseason Tournament. FREQUENT FLYERS With only a pair of games on the schedule in which the Panthers can take a bus, Georgia State will add up the frequent flyer miles again during the season. As the crow flies, Georgia State will travel 20,750 round-trip miles during the regular season. Georgia State traveled to Utah for the second straight season, a short 1,884-mile venture one-way. The Panthers faced BYU in Provo on Nov. 13 to open the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. The team s shortest trip is to Troy, Ala. (182 miles one-way) to face soon-to-be Sun Belt Conference foe Troy. State will make nine trips along the east coast once CAA play gets underway, the shortest being 415 miles one-way to Wilmington, N.C. to face the Seahawks. 543 AND COUNTING Georgia State has made at least one three-point field goal in 543 straight games, dating back to the season.

8 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 8) HEAD COACH RON HUNTER Ron Hunter restored the Georgia State program to national prominence in just his first year as head coach of the Panthers during the season. Georgia State won 22 games, the second most in school history, advancing to the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, the Panthers fourth-ever postseason appearance. Hunter has won 296 games in 18 seasons, but the accomplishments made by the team might be the most special. After being named head coach on March, 21, 2011, he built a squad that finished in the top 20 in the nation in scoring defense, defensive shooting percentage, steals and blocked shots, as six seniors finished their careers triumpently. 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. 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 to victory over UNCW in front of the largest crowd in the Sports Arena since While leading IUPUI to 25 or more wins in two of his final four seasons, Hunter began to partner with Samaritan s Feet, an organization that collects shoes for underprivileged children around the world. On Jan. 24, 2008, he coached IUPUI against Oakland in his bare feet to help raise awareness for the cause. By tipoff, Hunter s efforts had raised more than 100,000 pairs of shoes, and to date, that number has climbed well above 250,000. During his first season at Georgia State, Hunter led the Panthers to the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, just the fourth time GSU earned a postseason bid. The Panthers opened the tournament at home, another first, hosting a postseason contest and earning an impressive victory against Tennessee Tech. Earlier in the year, Hunter s squad won 11 straight games, a school-record, earning impressive victories over CAA preseason favorite Drexel and at VCU. The streak included wins of 32, 32 and 31 points. The Panthers winning ways continued in the CAA Tournament with a record-setting 35-point victory against Hofstra in the first round, the largest margin of victory in CAA Championship history. Hunter s resume includes numerous national honors including an NABC Guardians of the Game Pillar Award for Service, the 2009 Giant Steps Award from the National Consortium for Academics and Sport (NCAS), and a Minority Achievement Award from the Center for Leadership Development (CLD). He was one of seven head coaches who served on the Division I Basketball Academic Enhancement Group, as appointed by late NCAA President Myles Brand, and he is a member of the National Basketball Coaches Association (NABC) Board of Directors. Hunter, 48, earned his bachelor s degree in education at Miami in 1986 and added a master s in He was a standout player on strong Miami teams of the mid-1980s, along with high school and college teammate Ron Harper, who went on to a long NBA career. The Redhawks were during Hunter s fouryear career and earned three consecutive NCAA Tournament berths while winning two MAC championships. Hunter and his wife, Amy, have two children, Jasmine (23) and R.J. (18).
