The Georgia State head coach continues to capture hearts all over the nation.
The most interesting man at the 2015 NCAA Tournament is at it again.

First, Hunter tore his Achilles celebrating his team’s victory over Georgia Southern in the Sun Belt championship game. Then, Hunter coached the Panthers from an office chair in their opening game against Baylor, which he promptly fell off of following Georgia State’s game winner.
His son R.J. is one of the major reasons Georgia State has been able to make it this far.
R.J. scored nine straight points in the final moments against the Bears and hit the game-winning three with less than three seconds remaining. After averaging 19.6 points per game this season, it appears R.J. is generating plenty of buzz that could positively impact his NBA Draft stock.
With UAB eliminated by UCLA earlier Saturday, Georgia State is the lowest seed remaining in the 2015 tournament. All of those factors have made the Panthers the true Cinderella story of the weekend.
The Panthers can keep the run going into next week and the Sweet Sixteen with a win against Xavier. No matter the result Saturday, Ron and R.J. be worth watching.
