Panthers head to Jacksonville State for midweek game

The Georgia State basketball team is set to face off against Jacksonville State in their first meeting since the 2008-09 season under new head coach Jonas Hayes. Despite trailing in the series 9-10, the Panthers are coming off a strong season opener and lead the Sun Belt Conference in offensive rebounds and rank in the top ten in several other categories. Key returners like Toneari Lane and Malik Ferguson are expected to make an impact, while the team has been bolstered by the addition of seven transfers and four freshmen. Veterans like Cesare Edwards, Zarique Nutter, and Nick McMullen have already shown their prowess on the court, with strong performances in the season opener. The Panthers have a strong history of success in the Peach State, boasting the best record of any Division I team in Georgia since the 2011-12 season. With a new roster and a seasoned coach at the helm, Georgia State is poised for another successful season on the court. The game against Jacksonville State will be a testament to their skills and determination as they look to continue their winning legacy.
