The Panthers handled Carver College and cruised to a 122-57 win Friday afternoon. Virtually the entire roster got meaningful play time, with every player that checked in scoring at least 2 points.

Georgia State led by as much as 20 in the second half and fought through a furious fightback from Mercer to hand the Bears their first loss of 2020/21 and to avenge their only loss of the season so far, winning at the Sports Arena 88-81.

Georgia State used a 10-0 run late in the second half to take control on the road against Charlotte, winning 76-65 for their first win at Charlotte as a program.

Georgia State (2-1) were out of sync on both sides of the court and couldn’t withstand a hot shooting night from Mercer (3-0), losing in Macon 86-69.

The Georgia State Men’s Basketball team opened up their 2020 home campaign with a 105-60 win over Toccoa Falls College. This game marks the first time that Georgia State has scored 100 or more points in consecutive games since the 1991-92 season.

It took the equivalent of one and a half basketball games, but after four overtimes, Georgia State (1-0) outlasted Georgia Tech (0-1) 123-120 for their first win over their crosstown rival since 1976 and their first-ever win over an ACC opponent.
