QUICK NOTES
•   Georgia State wraps up a four-game road stretch at UNCG Saturday at 4 p.m.
•   After trailing by as much as 20 points at Furman Thursday, Georgia State fought all the way back to within three points in the final quarter, but the Paladins held on to win 62-55.
•   Taylor Hosendove recorded her third straight double-double in Thursday's defeat.
•   The win against NM State on Nov. 29 marked win No. 600 in GSU program history.
•   Taylor Henderson posted 31 points and Shaq Miller-McCray grabbed 20 rebounds in a loss to FIU on Nov. 11. It was the most points scored by a Panther since 2007 and tied for fifth-most rebounds in a single-game in GSU history.
•   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.
•   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 ranked Maryland on Dec. 18.
