ATLANTA-Beginning Feb. 1, the Georgia State men’s basketball team will be participating in the Coaches vs. Cancer 3-Point Challenge to benefit the American Cancer Society while competing against nearly 200 other programs throughout the country.
The 3-Point Challenge campaign is fun and easy to get involved in. Fans can go to pledgeit.org/cvc-georgia-state and make a pledge for every 3-point the Panthers make from Feb. 1-March 5.
Fans can follow the national competition at 3pointchallenge.org. The team raising the most from their 3-pointers will be crowned champion. All proceeds of the 3-Point Challenge will benefit the American Cancer Society and Coaches vs Cancer.
Along with most Sun Belt Conference schools, Georgia State will also be competing against in-state foes Georgia and Georgia Tech.
Georgia State (9-7, 2-2 Sun Belt) has already knocked down 118 3-pointers this season, an average of 7.4 per game.
Following Monday night’s game with Louisiana, the Panthers will return to the court on Saturday, hosting Coastal Carolina at 2:15 p.m. at the GSU Sports Arena. The 3-Point Challenge competition starts when Georgia State faces Louisiana on Feb. 4 at 2:15 p.m. in the GSU Sports Arena.
