They finished the season 25–9, 17–1 in Sun Belt play to win the Sun Belt regular season championship, advancing to the championship game of the Sun Belt Conference tournament where they lost to Louisiana–Lafayette.

Season notes This is the Panthers first year in the Sun Belt Conference since leaving in 1981. Despite playing at Kentucky during the 2012–2013 season, guard, Ryan Harrow, was granted an NCAA waiver to play immediately at Georgia State due to hardship resulting from his father, who resides in Atlanta, having a stroke prior to the 2012–2013 season.Dauster Rob Ryan Harrow’s fresh start gives him a shot at redemption http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/09/ryan-harrows-fresh-start-gives-him-a-shot-at-redemption/ College Basketball Talk NBC Sports October 25, 2013 Curtis Washington tied the school record for blocked shots in a single game, tying 3 ways at 9 with Sylvester Morgan and James Vincent during the season opener on November 9 against Southern Poly.Panthers Run Past Southern Poly 97-78 in Opener http://www.georgiastatesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=209303677&DB_OEM_ID=12700 GeorgiaStateSports.com Georgia State University November 9, 2013 R.
