Simonds Named GSU Student-Athlete of the Week

ATLANTA -- Basketball standout D’Marcus Simonds is the Georgia State Student-Athlete of the Week after leading the Panthers in scoring in back-to-back games and providing the game-winning lay-up with 0.9 seconds to play against ULM last week. GSU went 2-0 on the week and remained undefeated in Sun Belt play while winning for the sixth straight time.

Simonds scored 28 points with a pair of 3-pointers against ULM, but it was his last second shot that was the most important. After ULM took a lead with 5.5 seconds to play, Simonds went the length of the court to make a lay-up for the game winner.
