Georgia State will start going for a third consecutive regular-season title in Sun Belt men’s basketball when it plays at Texas-Arlington on Dec. 30. The conference schedule was released by the league office on Monday.
The conference season will again consist of 20 games with the men’s and women’s teams playing doubleheaders. Most games follow a Thursday-Saturday rotation.
The first game between Georgia State and Georgia Southern will be on Feb. 23, 2016. The second one will be played but has yet to be scheduled. The two schools need to agree on a date, according to the league.
Georgia State must replace three key starters from the team that went 25-10, 15-5 in the conference last year. The Panthers also won the conference tournament, which again will be played in Lakefront Arena in New Orleans from March 9-13. Gone are R.J. Hunter, the leading scorer in school history, Ryan Harrow, last year’s leading scorer during the regular season and Curtis Washington.
