His 34point performance was the most in the country on Tuesday and is the secondhighest total in the Sun Belt this year. Ryan is having a really nice start to the season for us, head coach Ron Hunter said. He is a special player and I am looking forward to him continuing to develop in our program. Despite our record not being where we would like it, we are continuing to get better every day. Our practices are getting better, I am seeing more out of our bench and if we can correct some things on defense, we will be right where we need to be. The Panthers are averaging 81.2 points per game, second in the Sun Belt, but are giving up 79.7 points in the league, ninth of the 10 teams.

The two schools are meeting for the 17th time and were nearly conference foes again. As GSU entered the Sun Belt, FIU departed the Sun Belt for Conference USA. The 34 points scored by Ryan Harrow against Elon were the most since R.J. Hunter scored 38 points against Old Dominion on Feb. 2, Hunter s 38point out bursted netted him Lou Henson National Player of the Week honors. Harrow scored the most points in the country that day, Nov. 26. Following a 27point effort against Vanderbilt, Ryan Harrow earned Sun Belt Conference PlayeroftheWeek honors, becoming the first Panther to be recognized by the league. Thru six games, the Panthers have had a player score 20 or more points six times. Redshirtjunior Ryan Harrow has accomplished the feat four times, while sopho more R.J. Hunter has accomplished the feat twice. Coach Hunter has made it a habit of playing in nonconference tournaments and this year was no different. In his first year, the Panthers travelled to Seattle, Wash. to play in the World Vision Classic. Last year, the Panthers hosted Coaches vs. Cancer following an opening game at BYU. This year, Georgia State participated in the NIT Season Tipoff. It was announced earlier in November that the Panthers will play in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic next year. Georgia State won 15 games last year, giving head coach Ron Hunter s 37 victories in his first two seasons,,the most by a Panther coach in two years in program history. He surpassed the total of Hall of Fame coach Charles Lefty Driesell who won 33 games in his first two seasons. Driesell won 50 games in his first three seasons and with two wins so far this season, Hunter is at 39 in his twoplus years. The Panthers are in the middle of a sixgame road trip that opened on Nov. 12 at Vanderbilt and will come to an end at FIU on Nov. 30. GSU only played one home game in the entire month of November. This will mark the Panthers first season in its return to the Sun Belt Conference. GSU was a founding member of the league in 1976 before leaving in Expectations are high entering the season as ESPN, NBC Sports, USA Today and CBS Sports have all projected the Panthers to win the Sun Belt Conference this year. The Sun Belt coaches have the Panthers finishing tied for fourth. Georgia State returns four starters from last year, including seniors Manny Atkins, Rashaad Richardson and Devonta White, along with sophomore R.J. Hunter. R.J. Hunter, a Kyle Macy Freshman AllAmerica honoree last season, opened the year with 27 points against Southern Poly. In 34 career games, Hunter has scored 20 points or more 14 times, including the first two games this year. Senior Devonta White scored his 1,000th career point in his last game last season and with 55 points scored this year, has 1,055 for his career. He needs 461 points during his senior season to establish a new career school record. More remarkable is the fact he missed 10 games as a freshman with an ankle injury. White will finish his career at Georgia State has one of the most accomplished Panthers in program history. He is currently listed or just outside the top10 in 11 career statistically categories. For more information on the records White is chasing can be found on page six of this notes packet. Freshman Isaiah Dennis has already made noise this fall earning the No. 5 play on ESPN Sportscenter s Top 10 List on Oct. 19. The 511 guard dunked over 69 forward Curtis Washington during the inaugural Hoop Day Fanfest. Georgia State will have one of the most balanced rosters in the country this year. The squad features four seniors, four juniors, four sophomores and three freshman.

Senior Devonta White is adding 9.2 points and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 80.0 percent from the free throw line. He has moved up to 14th on GSU s alltime scoring list this season with 1,055 career points, just four behind Jim Jacobs for 13th. Coming off his first career doubledouble on Monday night, redshirtjunior Curtis Washington scored a careerhigh 17 points against Elon on Tuesday. Washington is averaging 10.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, seventh in the Sun Belt. He is second in the league in field goal percentage, making 64.3 percent from the floor and tops in the conference blocking 3.5 shots per game. Redshirtsenior Manny Atkins rounds out the starting five, averaging 10.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. One of the top 3point shooters in the Sun Belt, Atkins is making 45.8 percent from 3point range and knocking down 1.8 3s per game, both among the top15. FIU is led by the tandem of Tymell Murphy and Rakeem Buckles. Murphy is averaging 15.6 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, while Buckles adds 15.2 points and 9.3 rebounds per contest. FIU had won sixstraight before a 12point loss to South Carolina last Sunday.

The Panthers became official members on July 1, joining the highlycompetitive league, led by Commissioner Karl Benson. The Sun Belt was formed in 1976 with six members, including Georgia State, competing in four men s sports, and today comprised of 10 institutions of higher learning sponsoring 19 championship sports for men and women. Georgia State was a founding member of the Sun Belt Conference in 1976 but left the conference in In 1984, the school joined the Trans America Athletic Conference, which was renamed the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2001, and then moved to the Colonial Athletic Association in THE SENSATIONAL SOPHOMORE Following a season in which R.J. Hunter won nearly every award possible, he is back for his sophomore campaign. He opened the season with a 27point performance against Southern Poly, going 7of13 from the floor, 5of11 from 3point range and a perfect 8of8 from the free throw line. He followed with a 21 point, sevenrebound performance against Vanderbilt on Nov. 12 and added a teamhigh 18 against McNeese State to open the NIT Season Tipoff. In his first year, Hunter earned Kyle Macy Freshman All America honors, along with AllCAA First Team, CAA AllRookie and CAA RookieoftheYear recoginition.

He earned national player of the week honros after pouring in a careerhigh 38points on a schoolrecord 10 3pointers. He finished the game 12of18 from the floor and 10of15 from 3point range. He was one of just three freshman in the country to average at least 17.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.

However, the starting five went a perfect 22of22, with sophomore R.J. Hunter going a perfect 8of8. The 87.5 team mark was the 21stbest mark in school history. Panther starters made their first two free throws against Vanderbilt, extending the streak to 24straight before a miss with 45 seconds remaining in the first half. Thru six games, redshirtsenior Manny is shooting a teambest 88.2 percent (15of17) with seven Panthers shooting at least 75percent from the charity stripe. As a team, the Panthers are shooting 76.2 percent from the line. TOUGHER COMPETITION Building his second schedule for Georgia State, head coach Ron Hunter wanted to test his team early, knowing a difficult Sun Belt Conference schedule awaits. In the Panthers second game of the season, GSU travelled to Vanderbilt of the SEC. The Panthers also faced Alabama in the NIT Season Tipoff in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Georgia State will also face five teams from Conference USA, including rematches with Southern Miss and East Carolina. THE SERIES WITH FIU Georgia State and FIU, a pair of former conference foes in the TAAC (now Atlantic Sun), will square off for the 17th time on Saturday.

4 Georgia State Men s Basketball Notes (page 4) AWARD WINNING The season is just underway, but the accolades have already started to come in for some Panthers. Sophomore R.J. Hunter was named to the Preseason AllSun Belt First Team, while juniortransfer Ryan Harrow earned second team honors by the coaches. The duo, along with Manny Atkins and Devonta White were also name to Sun Belt Preseason Teams in numerous publications throughout the fall. HARROW EARNS WEEKLY HONOR Redshirtjunior Ryan Harrow led the Panthers to a near upset of Vanderbilt and a win in the NIT Season Tipoff to earn Sun Belt PlayeroftheWeek honors on November 19. In two games, Harrow averaged 19.5 points per game, shooting 14of33 from the floor (42.4 percent) and making all 10 free throw attempts. He added five rebounds, eight assists and three steals. In the Panthers first road game of the season, Harrow led all scorers with a careerhigh 27 points and four assists at Vanderbilt, going a perfect 6of6 from the free throw line.

Harrow scored 12 points and dished out four assists in just 24 minutes, making all four free throws attempts. HURRAY FOR HARROW The cheers were loud as Ryan Harrow scored a careerhigh 34 points on 13of26 shooting in the final game of the NIT Season Tipoff against Elon. The redshirtjunior made a pair of 3pointers and went 6of9 from the free throw line. It was the most points scored in the country on the day (Nov. 26) and the most points scored by a Panther since R.J. Hunter scored 38 points against Old Dominion on Feb. 2, CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR Redshirtsenior Manny Atkins put together a very special season last year, but a rebound here or there could had made it even more special. Atkins recorded three doubledoubles during the season, however, he also missed a doubledouble six times by just one rebound and another four by two rebounds. IF he had secured all of those doubledoubles, he would have ranked in the top25 in the final NCAA rankings. He opened the season with 13 points and nine rebounds against Southern Poly, once again, falling just short of that elusive doubledouble. #BLOCKCITY Curtis Washington impressed the crowd in his Georgia State debut, tying a schoolrecord with nine blocked shots against Southern Poly. The 69 bigman who transfered to GSU from Southern Cal, added six points and seven rounds in the win. He tied the record set by Sylvestor Morgan in 2005 and tied by James Vincent against Monmouth last year. 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 during his sophomore season. The younger Hunter scored a GSU freshman record 527 points last year and thru six games this season, has scored 92, averaging 15.3 points per game. With 619 career points, R.J. has trumped his dad, but Ron still owns the title of three NCAA tournament appearances in the mid80 s. GOING BAREFOOT Coach Ron Hunter will once again go barefoot for one game this season in support of Samaritan s Feet. It is expected that game will be Jan. 18 against UALR. Hunter always tries to schedule the game as close to the Martin Luther King Jr. observance day. In his first two seasons at GSU, the Panthers are 20 when Hunter has gone without socks and shoes to raise awareness for the 300 million children around the world without shoes. 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 five pairs of father and son pairs in the NCAA this year. The group includes: Jim & Billy Baron Canisius Ron & R.J. Hunter Georgia State Greg & Doug McDermott Creighton Dale & Ethan Layer Liberty Todd & Blake Bozeman Morgan State 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 2310 in the comfy confines in his twoplus seasons. In his first season, Hunter s Panthers won 10straight home games and finished the season 133 in the GSU Sports Arena. After a 97 mark last year, Georgia State is 10 at home this year. 552 AND COUNTING Georgia State has made at least one threepoint field goal in 552 straight games, dating back to the season.

By tipoff, Hunter s efforts had raised more than 100,000 pairs of shoes, and to date, that number has climbed well above 250,000. During his first season at Georgia State, Hunter led the Panthers to the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, just the fourth time GSU earned a postseason bid. The Panthers opened the tournament at home, another first, hosting a postseason contest and earning an impressive 7443 victory against Tennessee Tech.
