ATLANTA - The Panther Insider Podcast Driven by Ford returns for Episode 53 as we welcome former Georgia State men's basketball star and GSU Athletics Hall of Fame member Kevin Morris to the podcast. Morris joins the Voice of the Panthers Dave Cohen to talk about the special 2000-01 men's basketball team that went 29-5 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Kevin Morris may not have started his career at Georgia State, but he finished it as a Panther and has gone down as one of the greats of all-time. After transferring in from Georgia Tech, Morris became a three-time all-conference selection and TAAC Newcomer of the Year. He also won the Chevrolet Scholarship Player of the Game after leading the Panthers past No. 6-seed Wisconsin in the 2001 NCAA tournament. He finished his career with the 11th-most points scored in school history, 1,212, despite playing just three seasons. He knocked down 160 3-pointers, seventh-most in school history and stands third with 202 steals. He was a leader on the 2000-01 team that went 29-5, won the TAAC regular season and tournament titles and has had his No. 13 jersey retired in the GSU Sports Arena rafters before being inducted in the inaugural Georgia State Athletics Hall of Fame class.

The Panther Insider Podcast Driven by Ford launched in August 2019 and has featured coaches, administration, along with current and former student-athletes. The semi-weekly podcast will tell the stories of GSU student-athletes, coaches, and all those surrounding the Georgia State Athletics program.

The podcast will be available on a variety of platforms including, but not limited to Apple Store, Google Play, and Spotify. Just search for the Panther Insider Podcast on your choice of platforms or listen below.
