On March 19, 2015, Malik Benlevi sat in a classroom at Jenkins High School in Savannah, Ga., glued to his phone. It was the last period of the school day during his senior year and Benlevi was sitting at his desk during yearbook club watching Georgia State take on No. 3-seed Baylor in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Anyone even marginally familiar with Georgia State basketball remembers how that game ended, with R.J. Hunter hitting a 30-foot shot with 2.6 seconds left for a Panthers’ victory that could have only been foreseen by the most loyal of GSU homers.
