Georgia State's basketball team struggled offensively in their recent game against Charlotte, suffering a defeat that highlighted their shooting woes. Coach Jonas Hayes emphasized the need for mental toughness, noting that when shots aren't falling, players must find other ways to contribute.

Hayes acknowledged the team's hard work but pointed out critical defensive breakdowns that proved costly. Looking ahead, Georgia State faces a challenging schedule, including a matchup against Auburn and the start of Sun Belt Conference play, as they aim to bounce back from this defeat.
