Georgia State will continue its 5game, 10day road trip on Monday afternoon facing Chicago State in the first of three games in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic in Rochester, Mich., on the campus of Oakland University. After opening the event with Chicago State on Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET, the Panthers will face Western Carolina on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. ET, followed by host Oakland on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. Georgia State opened the event falling to No. 14 Iowa State, 8158, last Monday in Ames, Iowa. Georgia State (12) opened the trip with a tough 8070 loss to Colorado State on Friday night. The Panthers led by as many as 12 in the first half and five at halftime before the Rams used a 140 with less than five minutes remaining in the game to pull away from the Panthers. The Panthers now turn their attention to three programs that they have never faced in their 51year history. Chicago State enters the tournament 22, while Western Carolina is 12 and Oakland is 03. I think we have learned a lot about ourselves in these last two tough losses, head coach Ron Hunter said. We played well for a half against Iowa State and played 35 pretty good minutes against Colorado State, however, that is not enough. When things have turned against us in each of those games, we did not respond the way championship teams do. Our players understand that and are going into this tournament with a much better mindset. Georgia State is led by junior R.J. Hunter who was named Sun Belt Preseason Player of the Year and is averaging 21.3 points per game this season. Last week he was named to the John R. Wooden Watch List as one of the top 50 players in the nation. Hunter enters the week already in the top 15 in several career statistical categories in Georgia State history. He is 11th in points (1,195), 10th in free throws made (cont. page 3) G 2 Ryann Green Sr. 2.7 a2.0 Named one of three captains for G 4 Isaiah Dennis So. 1.7 a0.7 Set multiple careerhighs in season opener F 15 Jalen Brown Jr Avg. 18 mpg, shooting 42.9 percent from 3pt range G 20 Corey Tobin Fr Walkon from Cartersville (Ga.)

Hunter is a member of elite company. He is one of only seven returning players in the country to make 100 or more 3pointers during the season. R.J. Hunter became the 18th Panther to score 1,000points in his career, needing just 55 games, the second fewest in program history (Phillip Luckydo 49 games), accomplishing the feat against Troy (Feb. 15, 2014). Ryan Harrow is on pace to become the 19th Panther to reach the mark for GSU after scoring 604 points last year. Under head coach Ron Hunter, the Panthers are 3610 in the GSU Sports Arena, a winning percentage of Ron Hunter won his 50th game as the head coach of Georgia State against UL Lafayette last season, accomplishing the feat quicker than any previous Panther coach.

In his first three seasons, he has won 62 games, surpassing the total of Hall of Fame coach Charles Lefty Driesell who won 50 games during his first three seasons. Driesell won 79 games in his first four seasons, including the schoolrecord 29 wins during the season. Expectations are high for the Panthers entering the season as ESPN, NBC Sports, USA Today and CBS Sports have all projected the Panthers to win the Sun Belt Conference. ESPN, USA Today, Sports Illustrated, CBS Sports and Bleacher Report all have the Panthers selected to make the NCAA tournament in their annual preseason previews. GSU is ranked anywhere from a No. 9 seed to a No. 12 seed.

Wooden Preseason Top 50 Watch List as announced by the Los Angeles Athletic Club on Nov. 17.

Hunter was an AP AllAmerica honorable mention receipient last season, a finalist for the Lou Henson Award giving to the top midmajor player and recently named to the award s preseason watch list. Hunter is the first Panther in program history to be named to this prestigious list. SCORING RECORD IN JEOPARDY In just two seasons, junior R.J. Hunter put together two of the most impressive scoring output seasons in program history. During his sophomore season he reached the 1,000point plateau in just 55 games, the second quickest in program history. This season he has his eyes set on Georgia State s alltime scoring record of 1,515 points held by Rodney Hamilton. Hunter is currently 11th on the alltime scoring list with 1,195 points, meaning he is just 320 points shy of tying the mark.

4 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 4) 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 3610 in the comfy confines of the Sports Arena. Georgia State went 130 at home last season and are 10 at home this season. The 14straight home wins are tied for the 12th longest home court winning streak in the country with Virginia. Duke has won 35 straight home games for the longest streak in the country. In his first season, Hunter s Panthers won 10straight home games and finished the season 133 in the GSU Sports Arena. The Panthers followed with a 97 mark in Here are the longest home court winning streaks in school history: to *3rdlongest streak in nation at time to present (130 during season) to (first 10 games of the regular season) to (last eight games of regular season) WHAT S IN A COLOR Georgia State has three different color jerseys this year, bringing back an alternate black jersey color that had not been worn in several years. He is the Panthers record in each color jersey and the last game it was worn. Color...Record... Last worn White W, Tennessee Temple Black L, at Iowa State Blue L, at Colorado State TOP 25? Although not an official poll, CBSSports.com s Matt Norlander ranked the Panthers No. 25 in his top 25 (plus one) poll to start the season. No. 26 on the list was Green Bay which the Panthers will play twice this season, while No. 22 was Iowa State also made the list, a team the Panthers fell to on Nov. 17. AMONG THE BEST As the season gets underway, R.J. Hunter and Ryan Harrow have been listed among the top 100 players in college basketball by several publications. It should be no surprise as both were named to the AllSun Belt Preseason FirstTeam and Hunter was name the preseason player of the year. Here is a list and there ranking: Hunter Harrow ESPN CBS 28 NR SB Nation NBC Sports FREE THROW KINGS When it comes to making free throws, Ryan Harrow and R.J. Hunter are two of the three best in school history. In twoplus seasons, Hunter has made 254 of 309 from the line, an 82.2 free throw percentage which ranks second in school history. Hunter shot a schoolrecord 88.2 percent from the line last year which ranked No. 17 in the NCAA. Harrow has made 138 of 168 free throws and with an 82.1 free throw percentage, ranks third alltime in Georgia State history. His mark of 83.9 percent ranked 81st in the NCAA last season. These numbers are of no surprise as head coach Ron Hunter has preached free throw shooting since his arrival. Recent grads Manny Atkins (6th) and Devonta White (10th) are also among the top 10 in school history and played under Hunter. Last season, Akins made 82.4 percent from the line which ranked No. 119 in the nation while White made 80.6 percent which ranked No GOOD WORKS FOR HUNTER Georgia State junior R.J. Hunter was among the list of nominees for the 2015 Allstate NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams as announced by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), the Women s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and Allstate Insurance Company. Hunter has been a part of two international trips in the last three years with Samaritan s Feet and also spent time doing community service in the Atlanta community. QUICKEST TO 1,000 R.J. Hunter reached the 1,000point plateau in just 55 games, the 2ndquickest player to reach the accomplishment in Georgia State history. Here is a list of the quickest to get to 1,000career points: 1. Phillip Luckydo games 2. R.J. Hunter...55 games 3. Chris Collier games 4. Thomas Terrell games Ryan Harrow averaged 17.8 points in 34 games last season. He has scored 63 points this year. At his current pace, he would reach 1,000 points in a Georgia State uniform in his 54th game, just eclipsing Hunter for second. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON...NOT SO FAST Coach Ron Hunter had a very good collegiate career, teaming up with fivetime NBA champion and close friend Ron Harper to lead Miami (Ohio) to three NCAA tournament appearances. In his career, Hunter scored 600 points, a mark that son R.J. surpassed in just his sophomore season alone (604 points). With 1,195 career points, R.J. has trumped his dad, but Ron still owns the title of three NCAA tournament appearances in the mid1980 s. SAY WHAT! Many members of the media have been gushing over the Panthers Big 3 Backcourt of R.J. Hunter, Ryan Harrow and Kevin Ware. Here is what some of them said this offseason: Scott Gleason (USA Today): Georgia State can be one of, if not the best, midmajors in the country, largely thanks to the return of Harrow and the addition of Ware. Interestingly, neither is the best player on the team. That would be R.J. Hunter, a 66 junior, the coach s son and an AllSun Belt performer with NBA potential who averaged 18.3 points and 4.6 rebounds a game. Rob Dauster (NBC Sports): The Panthers back court is absolutely loaded. Ryan Harrow, R.J. Hunter and Kevin Ware are as talented as any group of guards that you ll find at the Division I level. There should be no dropoff from last season s team, the one that went 171 in Sun Belt play, particularly if Ron Hunter can find someone to help Curtis Washington on the interior.

5 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 5) Reid Forgrave (Fox Sports 1): Ron Hunter s team might boast a topfive backcourt: his son, sharpshooting NBA prospect R.J. Hunter, is joined by Ryan Harrow the Kentucky transfer who scored 17.8 points per game last season as well as former Louisville guard Kevin Ware, whose famous leg is now healthy. The Panthers ought to win the Sun Belt and could make a run in March, when good guard play dominates. FATHER & SON Ron and R.J. Hunter are actually the second fatherson combo to grace the GSU Sports Arena. Bob Reinhart coached his son Bobby Reinhart from Bobby led the team in assists during his senior season. Ron and R.J. are just one of nine pairs of father and son pairs in the NCAA this year. The group includes: Steve & Kory Alford UCLA Steve & Bryce Alford UCLA Todd & Blake Bozeman Morgan State Billy & Billy Donovan Florida Ron & R.J. Hunter Georgia State Dale & Ethan Layer Liberty Craig & Cullen Neal New Mexico Keith & Lance Richard UL Monroe Bill & Tyler Self Kansas PRESEASON NCAA PREDICTIONS Georgia State has been a popular predicition to make the NCAA tournament this season.
