GET READY FOR THE GAME...IN 140 CHARACTERS OR LESS Georgia State continues a two-game trip to Alabama facing Troy on Saturday at 5:15 p.m. ET. at Trojan Arena. Georgia State earned a win over Troy last month, extending the Panthers win streak to three-straight in the series. Last time out, Jeremy Hollowell recorded a double-double (22 pts., 11 rebounds), but the Panthers fell to South Alabama in OT. Head coach Ron Hunter (100 wins) needs just eight more wins to become the all-time winningest coach in program history. Georgia State s 13-9 start is the sixth-best start in program history. Ironically, the Panthers started last season 15-7 (just two games better) that ended with 25 wins and in the NCAA tournament. At 6-7 in the Sun Belt, the Panthers enter play Saturday in seventh place, but just 1.5 games out of fourth and a first round bye. Since returning to the league, GSU is in Sun Belt regular season games, going 17-1 ( ), 15-5 ( ) and 6-7 ( ). Georgia State s 7-2 non-conference record is the third-best in program history. Defensively, GSU is giving up just 65.0 points per game, No. 34 in the NCAA. Georgia State was one of just 20 programs in the country to have won 25 or more games in each of the last two seasons. Georgia State is (.732) since Dec. 14, Georgia State, the two-time defending Sun Belt champions, was selected to finish second this year in the conference preseason poll. Markus Crider and T.J. Shipes have been a part of 78 wins, just 10 shy of the schoolrecord set just last year by Ryann Green.

That elite group includes: Kentucky, Duke, Michigan State, Arizona, Gonzaga, Louisville, Wichita State, Kansas, Wisconsin, Iowa State, Virginia, Villanova, VCU, Stephen F. Austin, San Diego State, N.C. Central, Louisiana Tech, SMU and Dayton. #SBC3PEAT? Since joining the Sun Belt two years ago, Georgia State has won back-to-back conference regular season titles and advanced to two conference tournament finals, winning last season to advance to the NCAA tournament. Since rejoining the league, the Panthers are in Sun Belt Conference regular season games, going 17-1 in , 15-5 in and starting with a 6-7 record. BEST START EVER...CLOSE Georgia State s 13-9 start through 22 games isn t the best 22-game start in program history, but it is right near the top. Here are the best 22-game starts in program history. Season Record Postseason NCAA (2nd round) Postseason NIT NCAA (3rd round) CIT (2nd round) None TBD HOME SWEET HOME When coach Ron Hunter took over the Panthers, one of the first things he proclaimed was that the GSU Sports Arena would become one of the toughest places in the country. So far, he has been correct. The Panthers are in the comfy confines of the Sports Arena since his arrival. The Panthers have gone 35-2 at home since the start of the season. During that span, Georgia State has put together an 18-game winning streak which ranks second-longest in school history and a 15-game home court winning streak that concluded on Jan. 16. That was the third-longest in program history. Here are the longest home court winning streaks in school history: to *3rd-longest streak in nation at time to (13-0 during season) to (last seven of season, first eight of ) to (first 10 games of the regular season) to (last eight games of regular season) CLOSING IN ON A LEGEND MOST WINS BY COACH Head coach Ron Hunter owns Coach...

The school record is 107 wins by Bob Reinhart.

3 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 3) ON TO THE PROS Georgia State lost three players to graduation last year and another to the NBA Draft. Three of the four individuals that left are now playing professionally. R.J. Hunter was selected with the 28th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics, while Ryan Harrow is playing overseas in Greece. Curtis Washington already played professionally in Hong Kong before going to Argentina in the fall. This fall, he has seen time with the NBDL Maine Red Claws which are affiliated with the Boston Celtics, while also playing in Canada. Although not playing professionally, Ryann Green is doing just fine as he stayed at Georgia State to earn his Masters and is now working in the athletics department. THE SERIES WITH TROY Georgia State and Troy will meet for the 29th time since 1996 and for the second time this season on Saturday. The Panthers have won three-straight in the series and are 4-1 in Sun Belt games. Last month, Georgia State earned a win in the GSU Sports Arena. The Panthers were led by 22 points from Jeremy Hollowell as he and Kevin Ware opened the game with a barrage of 3-pointers to built a lead to as many as 26 with just over three minutes to play in the first half.

The Panthers are 5-0 when Hunter has gone without socks and shoes to raise awareness for the 300 million children around the world without shoes. This marked the ninth straight year Hunter has gone barefoot for a game.

7 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 7) HEAD COACH RON HUNTER In four seasons, Ron Hunter has changed the national perception of Georgia State; winning 87 games and advancing to the postseason three teams. It was highlighed last year by winning 25 games for a second year in a row and advancing to the third round of the NCAA tournament following the shocking upset of No. 3-seed Baylor. The 87 wins are the most in any fouryear stretch in program history. Georgia State has entered elite status by winning 25 or more games in each of the last two years, an accomplishment only reached by 20 programs in the entire country. Hunter is now responsible for three of the four winningest seasons in program history and half of the school s postseason appearances. After winning the Sun Belt regular season title for the second straight season in , the Panthers claimed the tournament title, just the third for the program to advance to the NCAA tournament. In the postgame celebration, Hunter tore his Achillies, a clip that went viral across the nation. Coaching in the NCAA tournament from a stool, the Panthers trailed by 12 with 2:53 to play, before mounting a furious 13-0 run, capped by a 30-foot 3-pointer from son R.J. that sent Hunter off his stool and became one of the most watched clips of the tournament and a part of One Shining Moment. Although successful in his first two seasons at the helm, the Panthers started to pile up the wins during the season. Winning 25 games, second most in school history, Georgia State earned a Sun Belt regular season championship and an appearance in the Postseason NIT.
