Men’s basketball season preview: Georgia State is primed for a year to remember as Simonds expects the Sun Belt’s Player of The Year award

The Georgia State Panthers men’s basketball team is back on the prowl as head coach Ron Hunter aims at another 20-win season. This year, Hunter will look to continue his impressive three-year streak of winning 20 or more games and advancing to the postseason with many new faces. He will also have a plethora of returning players that contributed significantly to the team’s success last year.

Nonetheless, the Panthers recently battled against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the ‘A-Town Showdown For Hurricane Relief,’ on Oct. 28 and secured a 65-58 victory to begin exhibition play — it was the first time since 2008 that the two teams met on the hardwood.
