Internet: Live stats at GeorgiaStateSports.com PROBABLE STARTERS Georgia State will open the season at the road in one of the most hostile environments in the college basketball, Cameron Indoor Stadium, Friday night facing the No. 8ranked Duke Blue Devils at 7 p.m. The game will be televised live on ESPNU. It will mark the first time in program history that Georgia State faces Duke. Following a pair of impressive exhibition game victories, Georgia State will face its toughest test since going up against Kentucky during the season at Phillips Arena. It also marks the fifth straight season the Panthers will open the regular season on the road. After an 8562 win over Life, Georgia State cruised to an 8060 win over Albany State on Sunday night in the Sports Arena. Freshman R.J. Hunter, the only son of head coach Ron Hunter, finished the two exhibition games with 52 points. After leading Pike (Ind.) High School to the championship game of the state tournament last year, Hunter averaged 26.0 points, six rebounds and four assists in Georgia State s two exhibition contests. He shot 57.1 percent from the floor, 53.3 percent from threepoint range and 80.0 percent from the free throw line. We improved a great deal from our first exhibition game to the second, commented Ron Hunter following Sunday s win. You could tell that we were nervous in the first half against Life, but we came out with much better intensity against Albany State. We will need to play with great intensity against Duke. Although we are young, I will continue to remind my team that we are playing the players on the court on Friday, not the logo on the jerseys. I have a great deal of respect for Coach K and the Duke program and so do our players.

Season). 3 (2000, 2001, 2002) Conference Tournament Titles...2 (1991, 2001) the challenge on Friday night. Georgia State is coming off its second most successful season in school history, winning 22 games, only behind the 29 of the team of head coach Charles Lefty Driesell. The Panthers advanced to the second round of the CollegeInsider. com Postseason Tournament, falling to eventual champion Mercer during Hunter s first season. After opening the season 03, the Panthers won a schoolrecord 11 straight, capped by wins over CAA preseason favorite Drexel and 2011 Final Four participant VCU. Junior Devonta White, who earned Preseason AllCAA Second Team honors a few weeks ago, returns as the lone starter from last season after leading the team in scoring with 12.9 points per game. White dished out 2.9 assists per game, 11th in the CAA, while shooting a teambest 83.0 percent from the free throw line, among the top 75 in the nation. Redshirtjunior Manny Atkins will make his debut with the Panthers on Friday night. The Virginia Tech transfer sat out the season due to NCAA transfer rules, after seeing action in 56 games over two seasons with the Hokies. Junior Rashaad Richardson rounds out the Panthers tricaptains along with White and Atkins. Richardson has impressed in seasonopeners before, scoring 21 points on 7of10 threepointers at Washington to begin last season. Hunter s first team was built around strong defense, ranking in the top 20 in the nation in scoring defense (58.9), field goal defense (38.0%), steals (9.3) and blocked shots (5.4). This year s squad will miss Eric Buckner s defensive presence in the middle but is expected to feature more scoring ability as last year s squad was in the bottom half of the NCAA in scoring. Buckner finished fifth in the nation in blocked shots. Duke is 7829 alltime in season openers, including a 302 mark under head coach Mike Krzyzewski. The Blue Devils have won 12 straight season openers with the last loss in a season opener coming in 1999 when Duke opened the season with a 8079 loss to Stanford in the opening round of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic in New York City. Duke has also won 30 consecutive home openers and is 311 in home openers under Krzyzewski. Duke s last loss in a home opener was a 7675 doubleovertime defeat to Vanderbilt on Nov. 28, Following the Panthers trip to Durham, Georgia State will return to Atlanta for 48 hours before heading to Provo, Utah to face BYU on Tuesday night. The game will tip at 9 p.m. ET. 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, and three teams as a part of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. 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. 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.

3 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 3) THE SERIES WITH DUKE Georgia State and Duke will meet for the first time on the basketball court. The Panthers will play their first three games this season against opponents that they have never faced before. After tonight s game, GSU will travel and face BYU on Tuesday. The home opener comes against Monmouth on Nov. 19 as a part of Coaches vs. Cancer. GEORGIA STATE VS THE ACC Duke is the first ACC program that Georgia State will face since the season when the Panthers faced both NC State and Florida State. Georgia State has never defeated an ACC team, although the Panthers do have two wins over Georgia Tech in and before Tech entered the ACC. Team Record Record...while in ACC... Last Meeting Clemson Florida State Georgia Tech Maryland Miami North Carolina NC State Georgia State s most memorable game against an ACC team was the 2001 matchup with Maryland in the second round of the NCAA West Regional in Boise, Idaho. As an 11seed, GSU upset 6seed Wisconsin in the first round, 5049, setting up a matchup with the Terps in the second round. The game featured Charles Lefty Driesell s Panthers against the team he helped put on the map. Georgia State led 4342 early in the second half before Maryland s size gave the Terps a 7960 victory. Coach Hunter is 10 alltime against ACC competition, earning a 9692 win over Georgia Tech while still at IUPUI during the season. That game marked the first time that IUPUI had ever played an ACC opponent. 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 enters the season just four wins 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. OPENING ACTS Freshman R.J. Hunter scored 30 points in his Georgia State debut and junior Rashaad Richardson added 17 points as the Panthers defeated Life University, 8562, in an exhibition game Monday at the GSU Sports Arena. Hunter followed with 22 points in 30 minutes against Albany State last Sunday. 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. In the win over ASU, the Panthers made 88.2 percent of their free throws (30of34), including a stretch of 18 straight. AWARD WINNING The season is just underway and Devonta White has already picked up a pair of preseason awards. The junior point guard was named to the AllCAA Preseason Second Team and earned College Sports Madness AllCAA Third Team honors. White led the Panthers in scoring last season, averaging 12.9 points per game, while leading the squad on the court with a teamhigh 34.3 minutes per contest. IF THEY RE FREE Devonta White enters 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. This streak stretched the final five games of the season and is tied for the fifth longest in school history. The school record is 23 straight made by Nate Williams from Jan. 13Feb. 12, DEFENDING THE HOME COURT Georgia State went 133 at home last season, the second most wins at home in a season. The 13 wins included a 10game home court winning streak to open the season that came to a halt on Jan. 28 against VCU, falling to the Rams It marked the second longest home court winning streak in school history. The school record is 25 games, set from the end of the season to the beginning of the season. When that streak ended, it was the thirdlongest home court winning streak in the nation. 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

4 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 4) 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. 515 AND COUNTING Georgia State has made at least one threepoint field goal in 515 straight games, dating back to the season.
