Season) (2015, 2014, 2002, 2001, 2000) Conference Tournament Titles (2018, 2015, 2001, 1991) GOING FOR A THIRD Since joining the Sun Belt five years ago, Georgia State has won two conference regular season titles, finished as a regular season runner-up twice, advanced to three conference tournament finals, and won two tournament titles in New Orleans. Over the five-plus year stretch, the Panthers are in Sun Belt Conference regular season games. The 69 wins are the most in the league during that time. BRINGING MARCH MADNESS TO NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER Georgia State faced five teams that played in the 2018 NCAA Tournament during the non-conference slate. It began on Nov. 9, at Montana as the Panthers lost a hardfought game The Panthers topped St. Bonaventure and lost to Creighton in the Cayman Islands Classic. Using a 21-point comeback and game winning buzzer beater, the Panthers topped Alabama (Dec. 4) Despite leading with eight minutes to play, the Panthers fell to No. 24 Kansas State on Dec. 15. DON T CALL IT A COMEBACK...JUST CALL IT A VICTORY Georgia State topped Alabama on Dec. 4, on a game-winning 3-point buzzer beater from senior Malik Benlevi. However, it was how the Panthers earned the win that might be even more remarkable and why it led ESPN s SportsCenter. The Panthers trailed by 21 points at halftime and by 22 points with 18:57 to play in the second half. Here are a couple of notes from the NCAA record book: 21 point halftime deficit - t12th-largest comeback in NCAA history 22 point second half deficit - t32nd-largest comeback in NCAA history SEC CHAMPS? Georgia State went 2-0 against the SEC this fall earning a win over Georgia to garner third place in the Cayman Islands Classic and an win at Alabama. Ironically those two programs played for a national championship in football last season and an SEC title in early December. POWER 5 WINS Georgia State has garnered a pair of wins over Power 5 programs (Georgia and Alabama) for just the second time in the same season in program history. The only other time in program history Georgia State defeated two Power 5 programs in the same year was when the Panthers topped Georgia to open the season and then defeated Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament. WINNING STREAKS Georgia State currently is riding a six-game overall winning streak, eight-game home court winning streak and two-game road winning streak. Here is how those streaks rank in the country as of Jan. 15: 6-game winning streak - tied for 14th in the NCAA 8-game home-court winning streak - tied for 37th longest in the NCAA 2-game road winning streak - tied for 15th longest in the NCAA RPI CONTINUES TO CLIMB According to CBS as of Jan. 15, Georgia State s RPI is No. 35 in the country. Although there is a lot of basketball to play, the Panthers have been projected as high as a No. 12-seed in most NCAA Tournament mock brackets. LAST TIME OUT D Marcus Simonds scored the game-winner with 0.9 seconds left and Georgia State hung on to defeat UL Monroe Saturday at GSU Sports Arena. GSU led by as many as 21 in the second half, but ULM went on a run to take a one point lead with 5.5 seconds remaining. Following a GSU timeout, Simonds got the ball off the inbound and drove into the lane, laying it in and avoiding the upset. Simonds led all scorers with 28 points on 11-of-24 shooting, while Devin Mitchell continued his hot hand with 16 points, including four 3-pointers. J.D Williams led the way for UL Monroe with 19 points while Michael Ertel added 18. Travis Munnings finished with a double-double of 11 points and 13 rebounds.

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.
