Final Four comes to State

Loud music, talk from excited students, and dribbling basketballs were the sounds that emanated from the plaza near Hurt Park this afternoon.

In celebration of the 2013 NCAA Final Four: Atlanta, the Athletics Department here at Georgia State along with Connor Sports organized an event to help promote it.

The event consisted of a live DJ, portable basketball courts for students to play on, inflatables and free giveaways.

“ It was a Final Four pep rally type of thing,” Keona Blunt, a freshman Georgia State student, said.

Students, like Blunt, played each other on the basketball courts for fun and had a good time in between classes.

“It was fun especially because it wasn’t super competitive. I’m not good at basketball,” Blunt said. “The music was also great.”
