STREAK SNAPPED From Jan. 4 to Feb. 8, Georgia State won 10-straight games, the third-longest streak in program history (see page 7 for all streaks). When the run came to an end, it was the ninth-longest in the nation. A LOT OF WINS There is still one regular season game to play, but Georgia State s 20 wins are already tied for the fifth-most in program history. In his seven years as head coach, Ron Hunter is responsible for five of the eight most successful seasons in program history. See page six for the most wins in a season. UNDEFEATED! Georgia State completed an undefeated month of January going 7-0.

3 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 3) THE SERIES WITH SOUTH ALABAMA Georgia State and South Alabama will meet for the 28th time on Saturday with the Jaguars holding a lead in the series. However, the Panthers have won eight of the last 10 matches dating back to In the first match-up, Georgia State could not overcome a frigid shooting performance and fell to South Alabama in the Sun Belt opener for both schools. Sophomore D Marcus Simonds led the Panthers with 27 points, but Georgia State shot just 39.7 percent from the floor and just 30.4 percent from 3-point range while being outrebounded RECORD-SETTING WIN OVER LOUISIANA The Panthers knocked previously Sun Belt unbeaten Louisiana off with a win on Feb. 8. The Ragin Cajuns were receiving votes in the ESPN/Coaches Poll and saw a 10-game winning streak snapped. The 106 points scored are the most-ever for GSU in a Sun Belt game and marked the first time going over the century mark since putting up 101 on the Ragin Cajuns in Louisiana last January. It marked the first time since 2004 in which Georgia State saw six players finish in double figures and just the fifth time that three players have scored 20 points in the same game for the Panthers. THE 20-POINT CLUB Sophomore D Marcus Simonds is currently averaging 21.6 points per game. Only six times in program history has a Panther averaged 20 or more points a game for the season. The last time it happened was when Thomas Terrell averaged 20.5 point per game during the season. The record is held by Ron Ricketts who averaged 21.1 points per game during the season. FROM WAY DOWNTOWN In Georgia State s road win at UMass, the Panthers knocked down 16 3-pointers, including an impressive 11-of-15 in the second half. The 16 3-pointers are tied for the third-most in school history. Georgia State finished the game 16-of-25, a 64.0 percentage, which is the sixth-best mark in school history. The Panthers added to the top 10 list with 15 3-pointers at Little Rock on Feb. 3, and at UT Arlington on Feb PT FIELD GOALS MADE 21 vs. West Florida, * *t14th-most in NCAA history 19 at UTSA, at UMass, vs. Old Dominion, vs. Troy, at Troy, at UT Arlington, at Little Rock, vs. Coastal Carolina, vs. UALR, vs. Mercer, South Alabama H: 7-5 A: 5-9 N: 0-1 SBC: Full Results on page 9 1/4/14...

Williams went on an 8-0 run with a pair of 3-pointers followed by two free throws. The first of the two free throws gave him the milestone. Simonds knocked down a 3-pointer against the Mavericks to reach the milestone in just 58 games, tied for the fifth-fewest in program history. A NEAR RECORD-SETTING PERFORMANCE Devin Mitchell put on a show at Little Rock, one that set career-highs for the junior and nearly established some new GSU records. Mitchell s 38 points were the eighth-most in school history, while his 10 3-pointers are tied for the second-most in school history. The 38 points are the most since R.J. Hunter scored 38 against Ole Dominion on Feb. 2, In that same game, Hunter knocked down 10 3-pointers, second-most to the school-record 12 he made at UTSA. Mitchell set a Jack Stephens Center scoring record and his 10 3-pointers are the second-most of any player in the NCAA this year. A GEORGIA STATE FIRST D Marcus Simonds recorded the first triple-double in program history on opening night at Carver Bible College. Simonds went for 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the win. The 10 rebounds and 10 assists were both career highs. SUN BELT REGULAR SEASON HONORS D Marcus Simonds and Devin Mitchell have both earned Sun Belt Player-of-the-Week honors this year. Simonds earned it twice (Jan. 8 and Jan. 29) while Mitchell took the award on Feb. 5. Simonds earned GSU s first honor of the year and with wins over Little Rock and Arkansas State last week while averaging 26.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. He earned his second award of the year and the third of his career with wins over UT Arlington and Texas State while averaging 24.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.0 steals in two games while shooting 21-of-40 from the floor. Mitchell earned the award after scoring 38 points, including 10 3-pointers at Little Rock on Feb. 3. The 38 points are the eighth-most in school history, while the 10 treys are tied for the second-most. DOUBLE THE GOODNESS In Georgia State s win over Tulane, both senior Jordan Session and junior Malik Benlevi recorded double-doubles. Session finished with a career-high 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Benlevi scored 17 points and pulled down a career-high 10 rebounds. The last time that two Panthers recorded double-doubles in the same game was during the season as Rashad Chase (23 pts., 12 rebs.) and Lance Perique (26 pts., 14 rebs.) accomplished the feat at home against Towson. Only one time on record have three Panthers recorded doubledoubles in the same game and that came during the season (Hamilton, Gause and Robertson).

4 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 4) RECORD-TYING NON-CONFERENCE SLATE Georgia State tied the school-record for non-conference wins in a season this year. The previous nine-win non-conference totals each ended with postseason play. Here are the top seasons: Year Record End of Season NCAA Final 32 (Second Round) CIT Sweet TBD None CIT NCAA Final 32 (Third Round) PRE-MARCH MADNESS Sophomore D Marcus Simonds has been named the College Sports Madness Sun Belt Player of the Week four times this year. Devin Mitchell added to Georgia State s list on Feb. 5. The first honor came on Dec. 11 following a week in which he led the Panthers to a split of two games averaging 23.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.0 blocks per game. Highlighting the week was a career-high 35 points against Liberty. He also earned the honor on Dec. 25 after an impressive sweep of road games at UMass and Chattanooga. In those two games Simonds averaged 22.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and shot 19-of-32 from the floor. The third honor came on Jan. 8, after finishing just shy of a careerhigh with 33 points and nine rebounds against Arkansas State. The most recent recognition came on Jan. 29, after leading the Panthers to wins over UT Arlington and Texas State. In two games, he averaged 24.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.0 steals while shooting 21-of-40 from the floor.

BIG-TIME WIN FOR #HURRICANE RELIEF Georgia State earned an impressive win over crosstown foe Georgia Tech during the exhibition season, but more important than the win was the cause. The A-Town Showdown for Hurricane Relief came together in late-october and brought the teams to McCamish Pavilion to raise money for the hurricane relief cause. More than 2,100 fans cheered the two teams on as the game raised money for those effected by three hurricanes in the fall. EXPERIENCE IS KING Two Georgia State players reached the 100 career games played mark during non-conference play. Last year Georgia State had three players with at least 100 career games played. See page 5 for Session s standing on the all-time list of GSU greats. Here is a list of players who have reached the mark this season: Career Games Games at GSU Jordan Session Isaiah Williams SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE Georgia State head coach Ron Hunter announced the signing of two highly-touted high school stars on Nov. 8 as as Nelson Phillips of Warner Robins, Ga., and Kavonte Ivery of Stockbridge, Ga., were signed to National Letters of Intent. Phillips is a 4-star prospect from Warner Robins High School is currently ranked as the No. 5 prospect in Georgia, while Ivery is a star forward out of Stockbridge High School has been ranked as high as the No. 26 prospect in the state of Georgia. Phillips recently earned Region 1-AAAAA Player of the Year honors. 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 at home the last five seasons. During that span, Georgia State put together an 18-game winning streak which ranks second-longest in school 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 7 of season, first 8 of 15-16) HEAD OF THE CLASS Ron Hunter became the all-time winningest coach at Georgia State last season and entered the year with 123 victories in six seasons. He has shattered every wins mark in school history with the exception of the single-season record of 29 wins held by Charles Lefty Driesell. Hunter surpassed Bob Reinhart for the record on Dec. 10, Ironically, Reinhart, now a scout for the Miami Heat, was in the building when Hunter tied the record. ELITE GROUP When head coach Ron Hunter won his 108th game at GSU last year, he joined an elite group of coaches who are considered the all-time wins leader at multiple schools. Hunter coached IUPUI for 17 years and is still the all-time wins leader for the Jaguars. The list of coaches who lead at multiple schools includes: Ronnie Arrow - Texas A&M-CC and South Alabama Jim Calhoun - Northeastern and Connecticut Leonard Hamilton - Miami (Fla.) and Florida State Lou Henson - New Mexico State and Illinois Ron Hunter - IUPUI and Georgia State Gregg Marshall - Winthrop and Wichita State Johnny Orr - Michigan and Iowa State ON TO THE PROS Under head coach Ron Hunter, the number of former Georgia State players to go on to play professionally has greatly increased. Two years ago, R.J. Hunter was selected with the 28th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics. He was signed by the Chicago Bulls in late October 2016 before spending the spring with the Brooklyn Nets G-League team. He was signed to the Houston Rockets on Jan. 13 after a stint with the Rockets G-League affiliate Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Hunter was named NBA G-League Player of the Week on Dec. 4. Also from two years ago, Ryan Harrow went to play overseas in Greece and is now in Italy. Curtis Washington has already played professionally in Hong Kong before going to Argentina and seeing action in the NBDL. Kevin Ware has gone on to play in Finland. From last year s squad, Jeremy Hollowell was selected by the Erie BayHawks (Atlanta Hawks G-League franchise) in the first round of the draft, while Willie Clayton is playing in Cyprus.

5 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 5) SEEN WORLDWIDE For the third-straight year, all Georgia State home games will air live on WatchESPN/ESPN3 this season. With the program s rise, nearly every game will be seen worldwide this year. Of the Panthers 31 games, 25 are currently scheduled to air live. Sam Crenshaw returns for the third year of calling play-byplay for home games. He will once again be joined by former Panther Rodney Truck Turner who will handle color duties.

Also, for the first time in program history, both games of the MGM Grand Main Event aired on FloHoops.TV. GOING BAREFOOT Coach Ron Hunter once again coached a game barefoot in support of Samaritan s Feet. This year it came on Jan. 20 against Georgia Southern which resulted in an win. The Panthers are 7-0 when Hunter has gone without socks and shoes to raise awareness for the 300 million children around the world without shoes. This marked the 11th straight year Hunter has gone barefoot for a game. As part of his work with Samaritan s Feet, Georgia State has traveled to South Africa (2012), Costa Rica (2014) and the Dominican Republic (2016) to take part in shoe distributions with the organization. WHAT S IN A COLOR Georgia State has three different color jerseys this year, bringing back an alternate black jersey color for the fourth year in a row.
