The Georgia State Panthers faced off against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets for the first time since 2008 in the ‘A-Town Showdown’ for Hurricane Relief. Behind D’Marcus Simonds’ 30 points, the Panthers proved why they should be crowned the best college basketball team in Atlanta with a 65-58 exhibition win over the Yellow Jackets.
The exhibition match between the was established just over a week ago, and the proceeds from the game will go toward the hurricane relief efforts that dismantled parts of the country and Puerto Rico recently.
“I really want to thank Georgia Tech and their administration for helping pull this together in such a short period of time,” head coach Ron Hunter said during his press conference with the media.
