PANTHERS HOST 17th ANNUAL GSU INVITATIONAL

Georgia State will play host to three teams in its 17th annual GSU Invita-tional Tournament at the Sports Arena. The four-team field includes Hampton (6-4) from the MEAC, Misissippi Valley State (2-6) from the SWAC and Troy (2-9) from the Sun Belt. Games will be played at 2 and 4 p.m. both days. Hampton comes in at No.126 in the RPI with wins over James Madison, Florida and East Carolina. The Pirates are on a five-game win streak. Mississippi Valley State comes in having played officially the No. 1 tough-est non-conference schedule and sit at No. 171 in the RPI with losses to two top 25 teams and four top 50 teams. They scared Arkansas before bowing, 55-54 and dropped a 68-57 game to Ole Miss. They opened a 15-1 lead Monday at Mississippi State before the SEC squad rallied. Troy has its two wins at home, but is winless on the road and at neutral sites this year. Georgia State comes into the Invitational 2-3 at home this year, winning its last home decision over Jacksonville State on Dec. 16. The Panthers split their home games in the Thanksgiving Tournament, bowing to Rice, 55-52 in that championship game. Junior Chan Harris has been the team’s leader, with 14.5 points and 10.3 rebounds, plus 18 blocked shots. She has four double-double games of the eight she has played this season. Six-foot-three veteran Marcquitta Head joined the team on Dec. 15 and should have a major impact over the remainder of the sea-son as she works her way back into basketball condition after a two-year layoff.Freshman Kendra Long’s 15 treys pace the outside shooting game.

HOME, SWEET, HOME FOR DECEMBER The Panthers will play three home games (Dec. 2nd, 11th and 16th) and then the Holiday Tournament between Christmas and New Year’s (29th and 30th) for five home games of the six played in December. Coming to the Sports Arena will be UAB, Western Carolina and Jack-sonville State, followed by the tournament field of Mississippi Valley State, Hampton and Troy. The lone road game in December will be on the 18th at Nicholls State (Louisiana).

NEW STAFF HELPS GET PANTHERS READY In addition to new head coach Baldwin-Tener, GSU has a veteran staff of assistant coaches to help mold the team. Adrienne Shuler has 17 years of college coaching experience, including a six-year stint as the head coach at Appalachian State (2002-08). Shuler joined Baldwin-Tener for the past two seasons at East Carolina, helping last year’s team to 23 wins and the WNIT bid. Shuler had also been the associate head coach at Furman and on that staff from 1995-2002. She played her col-lege ball at the University of Georgia. Jocelyn Wyatt also comes from two years with Baldwin-Tener on the East Carolina staff. Wyatt served two years as a GA at Georgia prior to that. She played college ball at Appalachian State under Shuler and her high school ball in metro Atlanta at Berkmar. Jonathon Barbaree returns for his second year at GSU and has 14 years experience on women’s college basketball staffs. He is an Atlanta native and athlete at Rockdale County High School.

PANTHERS ROSTER MAKE-UP

The 13 active players include three seniors (Burtts, Haltiwanger and now Head), three juniors (Davenport, Ernest, Harris), three sophomores (An-derson, Paulk, Taylor) and four freshmen (Jordan, Long, Shepherd, Smith). The two redshirts are both juniors who will have two years left when they start playing next year (Hargraves and Means). Seven of the 13 active players come from Georgia (Anderson, Burtts, Davenport, Harris, Head, Long and Taylor). Two Panthers hail from Ala-bama (Paulk and Shepherd). Ernest comes from California. Jordan hails from North Carolina and Haltiwanger from South Carolina. Victoria Smith comes from the land down under, in Sydney, Australia.

CAA IS TOUGH AGAIN

The CAA had seven teams earn postseason bids last year and are ranked No. 10 in the RPI rankings. Two of the three All-Americans return, who were both top five scorers in the NCAA. They started strong in 2010-11. Elena Delle Donne of Delaware leads the nation with 26.0 per game (high of 41) with 9.0 rebounds and 11-of-18 treys. That average includes one game of 0 points when she tried to play when sick and only logged five minutes. Dawn Evans of JMU is scoring 24.3 per game (No. 4 NCAA) with 26 treys (No. 6). Courtney Hurt of VCU is No. 2 in scoring (25.5) and is No. 1 in the nation in rebounding (13.4). Five (5) CAA teams are in the Top 25 in the current Mid-Major poll among the 22 conferences considered in that category: Delaware is No. 7, ODU is No. 9, JMU is No. 13, Drexel is No. 17, Hofstrais 25, with UNCW and VCU receiving votes. Six CAA teams are listed in the Top 103 in the Sagarin RPI rankings.

Georgia State’s inaugural invitational tournament in 1994-95 was designed to bring together the four Division I schools. In that first one, GSU played the University of Georgia, while Georgia Tech squared off with Georgia Southern. Then No. 14-ranked UGA won the first Invitational with 1,329 on hand for the GSU-UGA first-day game and then 1,203 on the second day.

The second year, GSU beat Dayton, but Middle Tennessee defeated GSU for the title on day two. The third time was the charm for GSU as it defeated South Alabama for the championship.

When GSU won last year over UT Martin and Maryland Eastern Shore, it marked GSU’s 11th time to win the title in the 16 years the tournament has been played.

The last team other than GSU to win the tournament was Alcorn State in the 2007-08 event when they hung on to topple the host Panthers, 53-52.

Mississippi State has become a regular and has opened the tournament with GSU the past five years, making it six straight this year.

Besides GSU’s 11 titles and Alcorn’s, the other winners have been Georgia, Georgia Southern; (twice), Middle Tennessee, Marquette and Davidson).

tHe gSu inVitatiOnaL HiStOry

HARRIS: A FORCE INSIDE Six-foot-two junior Chan Harris has started strong after her return from foot surgery last December. The high-jumping Harris is currently ranked in the top 35 in the country in three categories: CAA NCAA Total-Average Blocked Shots 1 35 18- 2.3 Rebounds 2 23 82 - 10.3 FG Percentage 1 28 53-95 - .558

Harris has scored in double figures in seven of eight games and had double-doubles in four of those eight games. For her career, the junior is up to 26 double-figure games and 12 double-figure rebound games. In addition to a high jumper on the court, she was an All-CAA high jumper in track and field two years ago, finishing second at the CAA Championship Meet. Her fourth point in game six vs. UAB put her over the 500-point milestone as she heads toward a 1,000-point career.

RAINBOWS FOR HALTIWANGER

Senior guard Traci Haltiwanger has made 8-of-27 three-point shots this year. She has launched 76 arching rainbows from outside the arc into the nets during her career. She’s had a pair of games with four three-point baskets made, including one earlier this year at Stetson. Traci’s closing in on round-figure milestones, needing 1 more assist for 100, needing 12 more steals for 100 and needing 56 more points for 500 in her career.

BURTTS: A SENIOR LEADER

Angelique Burtts is back for a final season of college basketball and is adding to an already impressive resume. Burtts, the only player on GSU’s team to start all 30 games last year, has 91 games experience with three years NCAA and one year JUCO. The 6-footer has produced 46 double-figure scoring games in her combined career, including 6 games of 2010-11. She has 961 career points and 497 rebounds. Last year, she recorded a rare triple-double game with 19 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in a win over Murray State. She had a double-double against George Mason. She scored 20 points in a game twice last year, both in wins for GSU over Drexel and Nicholls State. She can crash the boards and has three games with 10 rebounds and another pair with nine rebounds. A good passer, she had a pair of seven-assist games to go with the 11-assist game last year. Burtts was a third-team JUCO All-America pick at East Mississippi Community College (25-7 and Sweet Sixteen) as she led the way with 15.5 points and 7.9 rebounds. She had 10 double-double games in JUCO. Also an outside shooter, she has 42 three-point baskets in her career. At Rockdale High in Conyers, Burtts averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds a game as a two-time All-State pick. The all-around athlete was fifith in the state champion-ship in the long jump and was also a 200-meter sprinter. Angelique has a twin brother, Angelo. Sister Lakeia Stokes (Class of ‘04) played at Clemson and scored 953 points with 463 rebounds.

RALLIES AND RUNS

GSU had its longest scoring run of the season with a 13-0 burst . Down 33-23 at Bethune-Cookman with 3:51 to play, the visiting Panthers ran off the 13 straight points to take a 36-33 lead into halftime. GSU was down by as many as 12 points in that game (20-18 with 11:06). GSU had a 9-0 run to start the second half vs. Alabama A&M and break from a 27-27 halftime tie to a 36-27 lead at 17:27. Against JSU, GSU had an 11-0 run in the second half to close from 36-25 to a tie at 36. After a JSU trey to make it 39-36, GSU went on another 11-2 run to make it 47-41. GSU outscored JSU 34-11 after that 11-point second half deficit. The first half has been a struggle this season for GSU as the Panthers have trailed six times, been tied once, and led the two others by two and three points. They have trailed at halftime by 2, 6, 6, 11, 14 and 15 points. In the seven games, GSU has outscored its opponents, 280-227, in the second halves combined (+53).

DEFENSIVE STREAK

Georgia State has held 6 of its last 7 opponents to 55 or fewer points, yet won only three of those. GSU is No. 45 in the nation in defense (55.7 per game). The Panthers’ defense has kept seven of its nineopponents to 35.2% shooting from the field, with only Georgia Tech in the opener (44%) and Nicholls State Sat-urday (42%) topping that, meaning a streak of seven straight in between below that. GSU has double-digit steals in five of the past seven games and six of the nine overall games. The Panthers have a season average of 10.9 per game that ranks No. 64 in the nation.

CAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY

A different team has won the CAA Tournament in each of the past three years. In 2010, James Madison won the title on its home court.In 2009, Drexel claimed the championship after entering as the No. 1 seed from the regular season.In 2008, Old Dominion earned the championship as the No. 1 regular season seed.For Old Dominion, that marked a run of 17 consecutive years of winning the championship. Prior to ODU’s run that started in 1992, Richmond had won a pair, James Madison had won four and East Caro-lina had won the first two CAA Championships ever played. The tournament site moves around and this year it will be held at a new venue for the CAA: The Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Md., just outside Washington D.C. This will mark the first time the tournament has been held at a neutral site since 1998 when it was held at the Richmond Coliseum.

Game 1: Nov. 12, 2010, 5:00 p.m.GEORGIA TECH 66, GEORGIA STATE 56

Atlanta, Ga. (Alexander Memorial Coliseum) Georgia State’s season-opener saw the Panthers bow to Georg ia Tech, 66-56, in the 34th meeting of the two down-town schools Friday evening at Alexander Memorial Coliseum before 1,930 on the campus of Tech. Georgia State trailed 35-20 at the break, but rallied to outscore the host Yellow Jackets, 36-31, in the second half. The key stretch of the game came in the final four minutes of the first half and the first four minutes of the second half. Tech held a 27-18 nine-point advantage with 3:54 in the half when they went on a 8-2 run to take the 35-20 halftime lead. They came out with a 9-2 start in the second half to open a 44-22 advantage at 16:32 that State whittled away at from that point on. Perhaps the key stat of the game was GSU’s 30 turnovers, 21 in the first half, that hindered the offensive production. Tech had 21 turnovers. Georgia State held a 37-34 rebounding advantage against the taller Yellow Jackets and blocked seven shots. Tech got to the free throw line 14 times, while GSU never saw the line until 6:34 left in the game and ended with three attempts. GSU shot 45.5% with five treys, while Tech shot 44.4% with three treys. Tech had 15 steals on defense, State had 12 steals. Junior forward Chan Harris led GSU with 15 rebounds and 12 points and three blocks. Freshman guard Kendra Long made her first game in the blue and white memorable coming off the bench with 13 points, 10 in the second half, with three-of-six made outside the arc. Senior wing Angelique Burtts netted 12 points. Sophomore center Cody Paulk had eight points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots. “I guess the positive in a loss is that we kept fighting until the end and we executed a whole lot better in the second half,” said new head coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener. “We turned the ball over way too much, especially in the first half, and we will continue to concentrate on taking care of the ball. Those turnovers cost us a ton of possessions with no shot attempted and limited our chances to score. “Chan did a great job for us and we need to find ways to get her the ball more. They were a lot bigger and it was good that we fought to get more rebounds, but we will work on getting tougher down low, too.

Game 2: Nov. 21, 2010, 3 p.m.GEORGIA STATE 70, STETSON 61DeLand, Fla. (Edmunds Center) DeLand, FL - Georgia State earned the first win under new head coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener with a 70-61 victory on Sunday afternoon at Stetson. Angelique Burtts had a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds, as did Chan Harris with 14 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. Traci Haltiwanger hit four three-point shots and added 15 points to the attack. Haltiwanger’s 15 points tied her personal-best for a game. Georgia State (1-1) shot 55.9% in the second half and 49.2% for the game, while having a 46-33 rebound advantage in the road win. The Panthers had 18 offensive rebounds. The visiting Panthers made 5-of-8 three-point shots in the second half and 6-of-13 total for the game. GSU pounded the ball inside and scored 40 of its 70 points in the paint. “I am happy for the team and it is always great to get any win on the road,” veteran head coach Baldwin-Tener said. “We started the game strong today, then hit the drought at the end of the first half. But, we did what we needed to do in the second half and played better.” “Angelique had big plays when we needed them this after-noon,” coach added. “Getting the rebound advantage and the 18 offensive rebounds is pleasing. But, I am not pleased with the turnover total (21) because that is still too many.” Georgia State hit seven of its first 10 shots and nine of its first 14 shots in building its early lead. GSU grew a 12-9 advantage to 26-13 with a 14-4 run with 8:47 to play in the opening half. But, the Panther missed their final nine shots of the half, coupled with the turnovers and Stetson closed to 26-24 at halftime. In the second half, GSU held a 38-32 lead when Stetson rallied to tie at 38 with 14:11 to play. GSU responded with a 7-0 advantage at 11:47. The visiting Panthers had nine-point leads twice during the 10-to-five minute span, when Stetson made a rare four-point play to make it 50-45 with 4:46 on the clock. A Haltiwanger three-pointer and a Burtts follow made it 63-53 with 3:27 and GSU finished off the win. Georgia State stays in Florida for a Tuesday night game at Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach.

Game 3: Nov. 23, 2010 7:00 p.m. GEORGIA STATE 70, BETHUNE-COOKMAN 49Daytona Beach, Fla. (Moore Gymnasium) Daytona Beach, Fla. - Georgia State raced to a 70-49 win over Bethune-Cookman Tuesday night at Moore Gymnasium by shooting 58.8 percent for the game. The Panthers (2-1) were led by senior forward Angelique Burtts with her 23 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. Junior redshirt forward Chan Harris added 19 points in just 23 minutes, to go with five rebounds and three blocked shots. In getting their second straight win on the Florida road trip, GSU hit 30-of-51 shots, while controlling the boards, 38-26. GSU’s defense had 11 steals and held Bethune-Cookman to 30% from the field. GSU gained control of the game by scoring the final 13 points of the first half in 3:51, to erase a 10-point B-C lead and take a 36-33 halftime lead. In the second half, GSU used another 12-0 run to go from a five-point lead of 45-40 with 14:45 to a 57-40 advantage with 9:37 left. “I am really pleased to pick up two road wins and the team responded well to the challenges,” said new head coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener. “Angelique had a big game to carry us tonight when Chan got into foul trouble and missed the final 15 minutes of the first half. I am not happy at all that we had 27 turnovers. We threw the ball away too many times unforced and we have got to correct that. The rebounding in our two wins has helped us overcome those turnovers.” Tonight, GSU led 8-6 and Harris had six of those eight points when her second foul at 15:04 sent her to the bench for the rest of the half. Bethune-Cookman went on a 13-0 run to open a 20-8 lead before GSU began to regroup without the six-foot-two Harris. The Panthers cut it to one-point at 22-21 with 7:40, but B-C burst back to a 33-23 lead at 3:51with an 11-2 streak. But, the rest of the half belonged to GSU and Burtts, who had 16 points in the first half to spark the 36-33 lead. With back-to-back wins and scoring 70 points in each, the Panthers extended the win streak to 15 straight games when scoring 70 or more points. The Panthers have outscored all three opponents in the second half this season, including tonight’s second-half domination of 34-16. While it is the Thanksgiving holidays, the team will fly back to Atlanta Wednesday and practice. The team will get a one-day break on Thursday, but return to practice Friday for the home opener and Thanksgiving Tournament on Saturday and Sunday at the GSU Sports Arena.

Game 4: Nov. 27, 2010, 2:00 p.m.GEORGIA STATE 57, ALABAMA A&M 50

Atlanta, Ga. (Georgia State Sports Arena)...ATLANTA - Georgia State defeated Alabama A&M, 57-50, in the opening game to advance to the championship game of the GSU Thanksgiving Tournament. It was also the home coaching debut for GSU’s head coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener. Chan Harris scored 16 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked two shots, while Angelique Burtts netted 13 points, hauled down 10 rebounds, made five steals and blocked four shots. Traci Haltiwanger contributed eight points, six rebounds and three steals. Cody Paulk added six rebounds, six blocks, five points and three steals. The third straight win for GSU (3-1) moves them into the Sunday championship game at 4 p.m. against Rice, from Conference USA, who defeated Mercer, 65-39, in the second game today. Mercer and A & M will play at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Georgia State’s defense sparked the win as the Panthers made 17 steals, blocked 13 shots, forced 25 turnovers and held A & M to just 21 percent shooting from the field. But, the Panthers didn’t capitalize as much as they could as a result of 27 turnovers of their own. GSU started well with a 12-4 lead just seven minutes into the game and led 19-9 with 5:45 in the first half. But, A & M rallied with a 16-4 run to take its biggest lead of the game at 25-23 with 1:00 left in the half. The teams went into halftime tied at 27. The host Panthers got baskets from four different players in a quick 9-0 burst to start the second half and pull away 36-27 in the first three minutes. A & M closed back to 37-32 at 14:22, but the Panthers went on a 12-4 streak to make it 49-36 with 5:05 to play in the game. A & M made one final run to close to 51-45 with 1:03 to play, but GSU made free throws to seal the win. “About the only thing I can say positive is that we won the game, which is the most important thing” coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener, “But, we certainly did a lot of things wrong. We had too many turnovers, many of them just unforced bad passes. We took a lot of bad shots. We didn’t box out on re-bounds. We fouled too much. We didn’t execute our offense. I could keep going because this was our worst performance of this year.” Georgia State did control the rebounding advantage, 47-44, making it four-for-four in outrebounding their opponents this year. The Panthers blocked a season-high 13 shots, including a personal-best six by center Cody Paulk. GSU has outscored all four of its opponents in the second half this year as well.

Game 5: Nov. 28, 2010, 4 p.m.RICE 55, GEORGIA STATE 52Atlanta, Ga.. (Georgia State Sports Arena). . . .ATLANTA (Nov. 28) - In a game fitting of a champion-ship contest, Rice and GSU battled right to the wire with visiting Rice claiming a 55-52 win in the GSU Thanksgiving Tournament. Georgia State battled back to make it a two-point game at 54-52 with 1:48 to play. Rice misfired and GSU had a chance to tie or go-ahead, but missed on a three-point shot, got the rebound and missed a two-pointer with 30 seconds left. Rice turned the ball over again, but GSU had a turnover of its own with 12 seconds. Morgan Mayse made one of two free throws with 12 seconds left, leaving GSU one last chance for a tying shot. But, they couldn’t find the open shot and time ran out. Rice (4-3) got 18 points from Morgan Mayse and 14 from Brianna Hypolite. Georgia State (3-2) was led by Angelique Burtts with 22 points and got a strong double-double from Chan Harris with 14 points and 15 rebounds. Georgia State had a 42-40 rebound advantage, including 22 offensive boards, but Rice countered by making six three-point baskets in the first half. Rice started the game strong, hitting 9-of-15 shots and 4-of-8 treys, to open a 22-17 lead just over eight minutes into the game. But, GSU responded and eventually gained the lead again at 32-31 with 50 seconds in the half. Rice’s D’Frantz Smart hit the Owls’ sixth three-pointer of the half to give them a 34-32 halftime lead. The visiting Owls led 42-39 with 10:46 in the game when their defense provided a couple steals and transition baskets as they stretched the lead to 10 at 49-39 with 8:55. However, GSU was ready with an answer and closed back to three at 51-48 with four minutes left in the game. That set the stage for the frantic four minutes to see who could get that last basket that was going to be the game winner. “Rice is a good, well-coached basketball team,” said Coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener. “They hit those outside shots in the first half and we had to make adjustments to stop that. We kept fighting all game long and gave ourselves a chance there at the end. It was disappointing to miss some of those final shots and especially frustrating not to get the last shot off in the final 10 seconds.” Rice’s tough early slate saw them lose to No. 2 Baylor and No. 8 Texas A & M. All-Tournament Team: Morgan Mayse, Rice; Angelique Burtts & Chan Harris, GSU; Whiquitta Tobar, Alabama A&M, Briana Williams, Mercer. Tournament MVP: Brianna Hypolite, Rice.

Game 6: Dec. 2, 2010, 7:00 p.m. UAB 50 GEORGIA STATE 41Atlanta, Ga. (Georgia State Sports Arena). . .Georgia State coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener used the word frustrating multiple times in describing her team’s 50-41 loss to UAB Thursday night at the GSU Sports Arena. The Panthers’ new boss offered these bits of analysis: • “It is frustrating to hold a good team like UAB to 50 points and not really give yourself a chance to win.” • “It is frustrating to shoot 6-of-15 from the free throw line in a nine-point loss. • “Making 23 turnovers, with so many unforced errors like throwing the ball away or traveling, frustrates me.” • “I bet we missed seven or eight lay-ups tonight. That is frustrating.” Visiting UAB (4-3) from Conference USA pulled away from a 13-13 tie after the first 10 minutes of play to outscore host GSU (3-3) over the final 10 minutes of the half 13-7 to take a 26-20 lead into halftime. GSU was matching turnovers for shots in the first half as the host Panthers commited 15 first-half turnovers and got off only 16 shots. In the second half, UAB opened with a 7-0 run to make it 33-20 with 17:50 left. A three-point basket by Amanda Peter-son at 12:35 gave UAB its largest lead of the game at 42-24 with that 16-4 start to the second half. GSU re-grouped and made a rally, getting it back to 45-35 with 7:16 left to play, but could never mount another serious rally in that final seven minutes. UAB was led by Amber Jones, who scored 14 points in 25 minutes coming off the bench. Peterson’s three treys gave her nine points and guard Khalilah Watson added nine more for the Blazers. GSU had no one in double figures as Chan Harris topped the stats with nine points and 10 rebounds. Leading scorer Angelique Burtts did not start for the first time in her career at GSU for team discipline and scored just seven points in 22 minutes. Georgia State did end up with a 35-33 rebounding advan-tage, but gave up 14 offensive rebounds to also frustrate the Panthers head coach. GSU did shoot 41% from the field and held UAB to 35%, but the turnovers cost the Panthers too few attempted shots. “We will take our week-long break now to give the team time to study and take their final semester exams,” the coach noted. “Then, we must come back with more energy, more passion and more hustle and get ourselves headed back in the right direction.”

Game 7: Dec. 11, 2010, 5:30 p.m. WESTERN CAROLINA 51 GEORGIA STATE 37Atlanta, Ga. (Georgia State Sports Arena)... . Shooting just 21% for the game, Georgia State lost to Western Carolina, 51-37, on Saturday evening at the GSU Sports Arena. Playing without their injured main scorer and rebounder, GSU still outshot visiting WCU, 57-41, but could make just 12 of those 57 shots. The Panthers shot 21.2% in the first half and then it actually got a little worse in the second half, mak-ing just 20.8% (5-of-24). Six-foot-two junior Chan Harris, who averages 14 points and 10.7 rebounds, while leading the conference in blocked shots, sat out the game with a foot injury. Western Carolina knocked down 45% of its shots in the first half to open a 27-16 lead, and even though the Catamounts went almost the first six minutes of the second half without scoring, still kept a double-digit lead the whole second half. Georgia State (3-4) got 11 points and eight rebounds from Angelique Burtts, but she shot just 2-of-16 from the field with 7-of-8 free throws. Sophomore center Cody Paulk added 10 points, seven rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots. Western Carolina (2-6) got 12 points from Kaila’Shea Menendez, 11 points from Diamond Hunnicutt and 11 points from Emily Clarke. Caitlin Hollifield’s 10 rebounds led them in that category. Georgia State’s defense forced 28 turnovers and had 13 steals to give themselves a chance today, but the cold shoot-ing hurt that effort. “My goodness, we took bad shots today and struggled on of-fense from start to finish,” coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener said. “I know having Chan out threw us off a little, but we have got to execute much better than we did today. And, we are capable of that so we will work our way back from this.” GSU shot just 7-of-33 in the first half, plus 0-2 from the free thow line while WCU hit 9-of-20 and 5-of-8 to open its haltime lead. Georgia State, coming back from a nine-day layoff for final exams, will return to action Thursday night when Jacksonville State visits the Sports Arena.

Game 8: Dec. 16, 2010, 7:00 p.m. GEORGIA STATE 59 JACKSONVILLE STATE 47Atlanta, Ga. (Georgia State Sports Arena)... . Trailing by 11 points at 36-25 with 13:50 to play, Georgia State upped the tempo for a furious 34-11 finish the rest of the game to defeat Jacksonville State, 59-47, Thursday night at the GSU Sports Arena. Visiting Jacksonville State led 25-19 at halftime and came back out to build the lead to those 11 points six minutes into the half. But, the host Panthers stepped up the offense and defense to score 11 straight points in five minutes and tie the game at 36 with 8:42 left. JSU re-gained the lead at 39-36 with 8:16 left, but the hustling Panther defense sparked a transition game that led to a run of 11-2 to give GSU control at 47-41 at 3:41. JSU’s last answer was a trey from Brittany Wiley at 2:40 to cut it back to 47-44. It was all GSU over the final 2:40 with a 12-3 run. GSU (4-4) was ranked in the top 20 in the nation in field goal defense and blocks and excelled in that again tonight by holding JSU to 28.8%, blocking 7 shots, forcing 27 turnovers and making 17 steals. The 47 points marks a sixth straight opponent held to 55 or fewer points. Freshman guard Kendra Long led GSU with 16 points, in-cluding five-of-seven outside the three-point arc. Chan Harris returned after missing the last game and added 12 points and six rebounds. Guard Tiffany Anderson added 10 more points in subbing for discipline-benched leading scorer Angelique Burtts. Guard Jerlisa Taylor came off the bench to add eight assists and six points. The Panthers also got a boost from re-turning veteran center Marcquitta Head, back after two years, as she provided energy with six points, four rebounds, two steals and a block in her first 18 minutes. JSU (2-7) was led by Brittany Wiley’s 16 points and eight rebounds, while Danielle Beneby added 11 more points and six rebounds, to go with five assists and four steals. “I didn’t really yell at the team at halftime or anything, I just told them to do what we are suppposed to do and the shots will start falling in the second half,” said coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener. And, she was right as GSU shot 13-of-24 for 54.2% in the second half. “Kendra made some big shots, but as a freshman she has to keep paying attention to details to help us all around,” Baldwin-Tener said. “Marcquitta gave us a lot of energy and her presence inside on both ends of the floor makes things happen. We had a size advantage tonight and were able to use it some. And, Jerlisa’s eight assists were a huge factor, too.”

Game 9: Dec. 18, 2010, 4:30 p.m. NICHOLLS STATE 72 GEORGIA STATE 63Atlanta, Ga. (Georgia State Sports Arena).... Host Nicholls State made 11 three-point baskets and shot a perfect 13-for-13 from the free throw line to overcome Geor-gia State’s size advantage in claiming a 72-63 win. Georgia State, one of the top 25 defensive teams in the country allowing just 53 points a game, ran into a buzz saw today that scored 43 points in the first half alone with 7-of-11 treys in that stanza. The talled Panthers dominated the boards with a com-manding 56-22 rebound advantage, including 28 offensive rebounds. Nicholls State (4-6) won its third straight with Alisha Allen scoring 24 points and Ricshanda Bickham having 20 points and 10 assists. GSU (4-5) was led by a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds from Chan Harris. “I was very disappointed in our defensive effort in the first half,” said Coach Baldwin-Tener. “Once again, we had too many turnovers in the first half and dug ourselves a big hole to come back from. We had the mismatches inside and did get a lot of rebounds, but we could have capitalized even more than we did. I played everyone on the roster today and some of the younger people gave effort, so we can build on that.” The game was close for most of the first half, tied at 24 with 6:45 left to go. It was still 27-26 with 6:00 in the half when hot Nicholls went on a 13-0 run to break it open at40-26 with 1:31 in the half. They led 43-29 at halftime. GSU fell behind by 22 points in the second half before clawing its way back to single digits with 4:07 left (66-58), then closed to seven with 52 seconds left, but that was as close as the Panthers could get. GSU got off 68 shots to 57 for Nicholls, but the Colonels 11-of-23 outside the arc were the big factor. GSU had more offensive rebounds than the shorter Colonels had all day, as Nicholls had no player over six-foot. GSU scored 46 of its points in the paint with its height advantage, but Nicholls got 21 points off 21 GSU turnovers.GSU, averaging 11 steals a game, had just five today. This was the last GSU game before the short holiday break as the team returns on Dec. 26 to prepare for the 17th annual GSU Invitational.
