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, Feb. 26, at 9 p.m. ET, live on ESPN2.
The game was picked up for national television on Monday as part of a two-game 'Wild Card' package between the Sun Belt Conference and television partner ESPN. The Panthers-Jaguars game in Atlanta was also selected last month but was cancelled due to COVID-19 protocols.
The Friday time change will also lead to a Saturday time change to allow additional rest for both teams.
