Georgia State falls to Canisius

Nov 25, 2013

Two of Georgia State’s top three scorers struggled to score for the second consecutive game and once again the Panthers lost, falling 79-71 to Canisius on Monday in Elon, N.C.

The trio of Ryan Harrow, R.J. Hunter and Devonta White missed 19 of their 25 shots against Alabama in last week’s 75-58 loss.

Harrow bounced back with 23 points against Canisius, but Hunter and White couldn’t find their shots. They combined to score 13 points – 17.5 less than their combined season average — and missed 16 of their 20 shots. The Panthers missed 17 of their 20 3-point attempts.

Conversely, Canisius’ guards had a field day against Georgia State’s zone defense. Chris Perez doubled his season average with 22 points. Billy Baron added 26 more. The Griffins hit 13 of their 23 3-point attempts.
