Here is a list of players who have reached the mark this season: Career Games Games at GSU Jordan Session Isaiah Williams 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 6115 in the comfy confines of the Sports Arena since his arrival. The Panthers have gone 518 at home the last fourplus seasons. During that span, Georgia State put together an 18game winning streak which ranks secondlongest in school history. Here are the longest home court winning streaks in school history: to *3rdlongest streak in nation at time to 1514 (130 during season) to (last 7 of 1415 season, first 8 of 1516) HEAD OF THE CLASS Ron Hunter became the alltime winningest coach at Georgia State last season and entered the year with 123 victories in six seasons.

6 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 6) HEAD COACH RON HUNTER In six seasons, Ron Hunter has changed the national perception of Georgia State; winning 123 games and advancing to the postseason four times. He is now responsible for four of the seven most successful seasons in program history. His stint at GSU was highlighted in 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. 3seed Baylor.

Last season, Georgia State had its fourthstraight winning season that included an eightgame winning streak and a third toptwo finish in the Sun Belt in four years. 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 Achilles, 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 130 run, capped by a 30foot 3pointer 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. During the season, the Panthers won a schoolrecord 14straight games, including a stretch of 22 of 23, as Hunter was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year and NABC Region 24 Coach of the Year. During his first season (201112), Georgia State won 22 games, the fourth most in school history, advancing to the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Hunter has won 377 games in 22 seasons, but the accomplishments made by the team will always be special for him.

Following the recordsetting season, Hunter was named Atlanta Tipoff 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. Named Summit League Coach of the Year in 2003 and 2006, Hunter led IUPUI to the conference championship game five times from , including the 2003 title game victory over topseeded Valparaiso.
