Season notes
- This was the final season that the Panthers played in the Colonial Athletic Association. The 2013-14 season was played in the Sun Belt Conference.
- Due to Georgia State's withdrawal from the CAA, the Men's Basketball team was ineligible for the CAA tournament (and therefore for the CAA's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament).
- During the November 19 game against Monmouth, James Vincent tied GSU's total blocked shots in a game record at 9.
- The game against Liberty on December 2 marked Coach Ron Hunter's 300th career win.
- On February 2 during GSU's win against Old Dominion, freshman (and coaches son) R. J. Hunter broke the team record for 3 point goals made, setting the new record at 10. The previous record was 9. This also tied the CAA record for most 3 point field goals during a game. During the same game Hunter set a season high CAA record for points in a game at 38 points.[1]
- R. J. Hunter broke the freshman scoring record with 527 points for the season. The previous record was held by Matt O'Brien with 515 points.
- By the final game of the season, junior Devonte White became the 17th player in school history to reach 1000 points.
