^{­LAFAYETTE, La.—Led by 33 points from sophomore R.J. Hunter, Georgia State overcame a 10-point first half deficit to earn a 77-70 victory over UL Lafayette on Thursday night at the Cajundome, earning the Panthers their 10th-straight win, just one shy of a school-record.}

^{Hunter scored 29 of his 33 points in the second half, including one stretch of 12-straight points for the Panthers. The only blemish was the sophomore's school-record streak of 38-straight free throws coming to an end in the second half, but not before making his first eight of the game.}

^{Trailing 62-59 with 3:49 to play, Georgia State (13-6, 6-0 Sun Belt) went on a 10-0 run to take a 69-62 lead with less than a minute to play and then finished off the game at the free throw line.}

^{UL Lafayette (12-7, 3-3 Sun Belt) had its streak of eight-straight wins at home come to an end as Shawn Long finished with a double-double of 17 points and 15 rebounds.}

^{Senior Manny Atkins earned his third double-double of the season with 11 points and 11 rebounds, adding three of the Panthers nine blocked shots.}

^{“I am really proud of our team,” head coach Ron Hunter said. “I thought we were out-toughed in the first half. We came out in the second half and played Georgia State basketball. All of us were a little too pumped early, but we didn't let an early deficit get to us and did the little things we do in the second half to win the game.”}

^{Hunter won his 50th-game in his two-plus seasons at Georgia State, joining coach “Lefty” Driesell as the only two Panther head coaches to win 50 games in their first three seasons.}

^{Redshirt-junior Ryan Harrow added 17 points and four assists for the Panthers while senior Devonta White added nine points, four rebounds and four assists. White is now just five points shy of moving into the top-10 in scoring in program history.}

^{Elfrid Payton finished with 21 points and nine rebounds for the Ragin' Cajuns, while Bryant Mbamalu added 11 points and six rebounds.}

^{As both teams struggled to find their rhythm early, Georgia State trailed 19-17 when UL Lafayette used an 8-0 run to take a 27-17 lead with 2:31 to play in the opening half.}

^{A pair of big 3-pointers got the Panthers back in the game. Harrow knocked down one as the shot clock expired to cut the Ragin' Cajuns lead to five with 1:22 to play. Hunter followed with his first 3-pointer of the game with five seconds remaining in the half to send Georgia State into the locker room trailing 29-25.}

^{Georgia State opened the second half making six of its first eight shots from the floor, including a pair of 3-pointers from Hunter and a 3 from Atkins to take a 40-39 lead with 15:12 to play.}

^{Hunter, who scored just four points in the first half, scored 18 of the Panthers first 25 points in the second half.}

^{The two teams traded leads 12 times while combining for nine ties for the game.}

^{Georgia State made 25-of-31 free throws in the second half to secure the win. The Panthers shot 57.1-percent from 3-point range, holding UL-L to just 3-of-19 from beyond the arc.}

^{The Panthers turned the ball over just seven times, blocked nine shots and forced the Ragin' Cajuns into 11 turnovers.}

^{Georgia State will continue its two-game road trip at UL Monroe on Saturday at 5 p.m. ET. looking to tie the school-record of 11 wins set just two years ago during Hunter's first-season at the helm of the program.}
