Georgia State dropped a tough 8668 matchup with Louisiana Tech on Friday night in front of a seasonhigh crowd of The Bulldogs won their seventh straight, shooting 54.2 percent from the floor while holding the Panthers to 34.7 percent shooting. We just got beat by a very good Louisiana Tech team last night, commented head coach Ron Hunter after the game. Our young team is not ready to play against experienced teams like that. The good thing is that we get to get right back out onto the court and can get that sour taste out of our mouths. Liberty is a team that has been struggling this year, but sometimes those are the teams that are the most dangerous. We are going to need to rebound the ball well and take advantage of second chance opportunities to come home with a victory. Pos # Name...Ht Wt Cl.

Following Sunday s game, Georgia State will take the week off for final exams. The Panthers will return to the court on Saturday, Dec., 8, facing Southern Poly in the Sports Arena at 2 p.m. 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 165 in the comfy confines in his oneplus seasons. In his first season, Hunter s Panthers won 10straight home games and finished the season 133 in the GSU Sports Arena. NEW AND IMPROVED SCHEDULE Building his first schedule for Georgia State, head coach Ron Hunter wanted to test his team early, knowing that the squad will face a very difficult Colonial Athletic Association schedule in January and February. The Panthers will play three teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2012, including opening at No. 8 (ESPN) Duke followed by BYU. The Panthers will also host Southern Miss, an NCAA team from a year ago. Georgia State already topped future Sun Belt foe South Alabama, 7573 as the Jaguars were receiving votes in the ESPN Coaches poll at the time. Add to that an always demanding CAA schedule that features Drexel (NIT Elite Eight), George Mason and Old Dominion and you have a schedule that should be much tougher than a year ago. As of Nov. 30, the four teams the Panthers had lost to had a combined 233 record.

3 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 3) 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 highlycompetitive Sun Belt Conference, led by new Commissioner Karl Benson. Due to a 12year 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. THE SERIES WITH LIBERTY Georgia State and Liberty will meet for just the second time. The Panthers and Flames met on Nov. 26, 2011 in Atlanta with GSU earning a 7250 win. In that game, Jihad Ali scored 14 of his 16 points in the second LIBERTY 10 11/26/11...H W 7250 half to lead Georgia State to its third straight win. Ali went sixforsix from the floor, including four threepointers, for the Panthers, who evened their record at 33. Devonta White added 15 points, and Eric Buckner blocked a careerhigh seven shots, to go along with nine points and seven rebounds in the 22point victory. A NEW ERA OF GEORGIA STATE 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 2212 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 11game 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 secondever postseason victory, a 7443 thumping of Tennessee Tech to open the CollegeInsider. com Postseason Tournament. Hunter is currently just one win shy of 300 for his career. 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 OPENING ACT PART ONE Freshman R.J. Hunter scored 30 points in his Georgia State debut as the Panthers defeated Life University, 8562, in an exhibition game on Oct. 29. Hunter followed with 22 points in 30 minutes against Albany State on Nov. 4. The freshman hit 5of8 from the floor, including four threepointers, making 8of9 at the free throw line. In two exhibition games, Hunter averaged 26.0 points, six rebounds and four assists, shooting 57.1 percent from the floor, 53.3 percent from threepoint range and 80.0 percent from the free throw line. TWICE AS NICE R.J. Hunter began his collegiate career in impressive fashion, collecting a doubledouble of 14 points and 10 rebounds in the Panthers loss to No. 8 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium which earned him CAA Rookie of the Week honors. He earned the award again on Nov. 26 after leading the Panthers to threestraight wins as part of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. He scored a seasonhigh 25 points to cap the week against South Alabama.

MOVIN ON UP Senior James Vincent is quickly moving up the school s alltime blocked shots list. Despite being outside the top ten entering the year, he is already moved up to seventh with 18 blocked shots this season. The schoolrecord of BLOCKED SHOTS CAREER Player...Years Blk 1.

The junior point guard was named to the AllCAA Preseason Second Team and earned College Sports Madness AllCAA Third Team honors. White is leading the Panthers in scoring (15.0) and minutes (37.0) this season and is tops on the team with 13 steals. He opened the season with 19 points in 38 minutes at No. 8 Duke.

4 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 4) MANNY BEING MANNY Redshirtjunior Manny Atkins, who spent the season redshirting due to NCAA transfer rules, found his groove in the Panthers second game of the season. The former Virginia Tech guard scored 21 points on 9of18 shooting, hitting three threepointers, while grabbing a careerhigh eight rebounds at BYU. He added three steals and an assist in 36 minutes of action. He topped that performance with a careerhigh 26 points on 8of11 shooting against South Alabama, hitting 5of6 from threepoint range to go along with seven rebounds and five assists. IF THEY RE FREE Devonta White entered the season having made 17straight free throws, trumping his streak of 16 consecutive made free throws which came to an end against Old Dominion on Feb. 22. He pushed the streak to 20 straight by making his first three free throws at Duke in the opening game of the season. Unfortunately, he missed his fourth opportunity ending the streak as the fourth longest in school history. The school record is 23 straight made by Nate Williams from Jan. 13Feb. 12, GOING BAREFOOT Coach Ron Hunter will coach his sixth annual barefoot game in support of Samaritan s Feet against William & Mary in 2013 on Jan. 12 at the GSU Sports Arena. Last year, his first with the Panthers, GSU earned a 7561 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. 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 10day 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. STEALIN THE SHOW Georgia State swiped 315 steals during the season, the second most in school history. The school record of 351 was set during the season, a season that ended in the NCAA Tournament. The Panthers had four players with 50 or more steals and all four players ranked among the top 12 in the CAA in steals per game. This season, the Panthers have 62 steals in just the first sevengames of the season, including a seasonhigh 14 against Louisiana Tech and 13 at BYU. 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 roundtrip miles during the regular season. Georgia State traveled to Utah for the second straight season, a short 1,884mile venture oneway. 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 oneway) to face sotobe Sun Belt Conference foe Troy. State will make nine trips along the east coast once CAA play gets underway, the shortest being 415 miles oneway to Wilmington, N.C. to face the Seahawks. 523 AND COUNTING Georgia State has made at least one threepoint field goal in 523 straight games, dating back to the season. The last team to hold the Panthers without a trey was Stetson on Feb. 18, NEXT UP Georgia State will have the week off for final exams and not return to the court until next Saturday, Dec. 8 to face Southern Poly. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. from the GSU Sports Arena. MOST IMPROVED Georgia State finished the season among the most improved in the country.

6 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 6) 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 fourthever postseason appearance.
