March Madness has officially begun, and one of the biggest stories of last season’s tournament will not be participating. Georgia State’s season ended in the first round of the Sun Belt Conference tournament against the Texas State Bobcats, denying them further postseason participation.
Last season Georgia State capped off arguably their best season to date with their NCAA tournament run. The Panthers would repeat as conference champions earning them the number one seed in the Sun Belt tournament. They would go on to beat their rivals, Georgia Southern, in the final giving Georgia State their first March Madness bid since 2001.
