QUICK NOTES
•   Georgia State opens the 2019-20 regular season Tuesday against Toledo at 6 p.m. at the GSU Sports Arena.
•   The Panthers and Rockets will play each other for the third time Tuesday with the Rockets winning the previous two meetings.
•   GSU returns its top two scorers from last season in redshirt junior Jada Lewis (13.6 ppg) and redshirt senior Allison Johnson (11.7 ppg). Lewis was second-team All-Sun Belt last year while Johnson was named to the third team and was the Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year.
•   Jada Lewis was named to the Preseason All-Sun Belt First Team. Georgia State was picked sixth in the conference poll.
•   Only four Panthers that saw action last season return for the 2019-20 campaign. GSU welcomes 11 newcomers including six true freshmen.
•   Georgia State is coming off a historical 2018-19 season in which first-year head coach Gene Hill guided the Panthers to their winningest season since 2003-04 and first postseason appearance (WBI) since 2002-03.
•   Gene Hill's 17 wins last season were the most by a GSU coach in their first season since Joyce Patterson won 28 games as co-head coach in the 1980-81 season.
•   Georgia State made 185 3-point field goals last season to set a new GSU single-season record.
•   The program enters the year with 599 wins all-time.
•   In 2018-19, GSU won seven more conference contests than the previous season. Only four Division-I programs had a bigger win improvement in conference play.
• Georgia State will play a challenging non-conference schedule that includes hosting No. 4 Maryland on Dec. 18.
•   All of GSU's home games this season will once again be on ESPN+ with Sam Crenshaw providing play-by-play and Kelcey Roegiers on color commentary.
