642 - Chattanooga at Georgia State
December 12 at GSU Sports Arena in Atlanta, GA
ESPN +
Excellent job of not looking ahead to a big road game on Saturday as the Panthers shot 57% from the field in a 95-88 win.
One of the biggest things about Wednesday's win was Devin Mitchell coming off the bench to score a season-high 17 points on 5-of-10 shooting from three-point range in 32 minutes. Mitchell missed the first seven games with a knee injury, and this was his first big game. His return us huge as he's the team's best outside shooter (though they have several good ones) and the roster is so much deeper with him healthy.
D'Marcus Simonds continued his excellent junior season, scoring a game-high 24 points, and sophomore point guard Kane Williams, who is becoming a real weapon when driving to the rim and either finishing or drawing fouls, added 17 points.
Associated Press No. 25 Kansas State awaits at Bramlage Coliseum Saturday.

Game 525 - Louisiana-Monroe women at Georgia State
February 10 at GSU Sports Arena in Atlanta, GA
espn3.com
This was a game GSU had to have, mainly because its in danger of being the No. 12 seed in next month's Sun Belt Tournament. This 70-57 win, which moved them to 2-11 in conference, gave them a potential tie-breaker over 1-11 ULM and allowed them to also possibly finish ahead of Georgia Southern (also 2-11, but GSU won the first match up and they play again on February 17).
Saturday, Madison Newby was her usual steady self, contributing 15 points and seven assists. Nice day for Janessa Murphy as well, who led all scorers with 17 points on 7-of-15 shooting. GSU had 18 assists on 24 made field goals and held Gabriella Cortez, who was fourth in the conference in scoring at 16.4 points coming in, to just nine on 3-of-14 shooting.
* A bit of nonsense from both play-by-play man Sam Crenshaw:
"possessions are important"
and commentator Kelcey Roegiers:
"adjusting to their culture and their chemistry"

Game 472 - Arkansas State at Georgia State
January 6 at GSU Sports Arena in Atlanta, GA

D'Marcus Simonds continued his excellent sophomore season, scoring 33 points on 12-of-20 shooting in a 79-75 victory.
There were 10 ties and an incredible 22 lead changes in the game, and GSU (11-6, 2-2 Sun Belt) didn't grab its final advantage until Jeff Thomas' 3-pointer with 30 seconds to go made it 75-72.
Thomas began the year as a starter, but has been coming off the bench lately and he did a little of everything in this one, contributing 10 points, five rebounds and a pair of assists. Meanwhile, Simonds came into the night top-30 nationally in scoring at 21.1 points and he should move up a bit higher after his third 30-point game of the season. The guard from Gainesville, Georgia played all but one minute on Saturday.
Nice day as well for another reserve - Isaiah Williams - who had 12 points and a pair of assists and drained two free throws with eight seconds left that clinched the win.
Arkansas State, which fell to 6-11 overall and 1-3 in league play, got a great game from Deven Simms (24 points on 8-of-17 shooting in 35 minutes).
"Basketball"
We count how many times announcers say the word "basketball" on this site; it's important research and we feel obligated to report the facts. Color commentator Rodney Turner, a former Panther, ended up saying the word 14 times, which is a solid performance for a 2+ hour game. But play-by-play man Sam Crenshaw went to another level, saying it 43 times, for an average of just over one per game minute.
One of the greatest moments in the history of tallying how many times people say "basketball" came early in the second half when a deflection out of bounds sent the ball underneath the stands behind the hoop and no one could find it. The search lasted nearly two minutes, and Crenshaw & Turner set site, and perhaps world records by saying the word 19 times!
The pair said it 57 times overall, for an average of 1.4 per game minute.
Well done, gentleman.
