The Panthers finished the season 24–10, 13–5 in the Sun Belt, claiming the title of SBC regular season champions. The Panthers also went on to defeat
Texas State and
UT Arlington to become back-to-back champions of the
Sun Belt tournament. As a result, they received the Sun Belt's automatic bid to the
NCAA tournament. As the No. 14 seed in the Midwest region, they lost to
Houston in the first round. After losing in the NCAA tournament, it was reported that head coach
Ron Hunter had been offered the head coaching position at
Tulane, to which he responded that he was going to take 48 hours to think about the future. On March 24, Tulane officially announced Hunter as head coach. It was later reported Hunter opted to leave Georgia State due to a disagreement between the university and Hunter over contract details regarding performance bonuses, tying them to his team's GPA, which was purported by the university to be declining year after year. On 5 April 2019, Georgia State announced the selection of Rob Lanier, associate head coach for the
Tennessee Vols, to head the program at GSU. ==Offseason==
