ATLANTA-In a schedule update for the Georgia State men's basketball team, the Panthers will now face South Alabama in a Sun Belt Conference showdown on Friday night, Jan. 29, at 8:30 p.m., live on ESPN2.
The game was picked up for national television on Wednesday as part of a two-game 'Wild Card' package between the Sun Belt Conference and television partner ESPN.
Plans are in the works for an official virtual watch party for those fans who cannot attend. Details on the event will be made available early next week.
The Friday time change will also lead to a Saturday time change to allow additional rest for both teams.
