The school athletic teams were members of the Atlantic Sun Conference (formerly known as TAAC) until 2005 when they joined the CAA.
Before becoming part of the CAA the basketball team was able to achieve 2 titles in the A-Sun Tournament (1990-91 and 2000-01) as well as 3 A-Sun Regular Season tiles (1999-00, 2000-01 and 2001-02)
Coach Lefty Driesell coached the Panthers Men’s Basketball team until 2003, he has been one of the best coaches with one of the best records in the Division I Basketball History.
During the period of 2007-08, the Phanters didn’t have a good season and were not even close to a good place in the conference. Georgia State ended with a conference record of 5-13 and an overall record of 9-21. This new season, Coach Rod Barnes is expecting a better performance from his players at the conference games.
