The in-conference woes continued for Georgia State on Jan. 30, as first place Little Rock defeated the Panthers, 63-53. Senior Kevin Ware led the team with 17 points and freshman Malik Benlevi scored a career high 10 points.
Georgia State began the second half with a run of the team’s own to take a three point lead before going cold and not scoring a single point for six minutes.
“I thought we battled and played well for portions of the game, but when you play a talented team like Little Rock, you have to play great basketball for 40 minutes,” head coach Ron Hunter said, according to Georgia State Communications.
