TOURNAMENT COVERAGE
THE CAA - The Colonial Athletic Association has worked its way up to the premier spot amongthe nation’s Mid-Major conferences after last year’s No. 8 final conference ranking and fourteams getting post-season bids (two NCAA, two NIT). This year, the CAA is shining as bright as ever in the Mid-Major Poll with the four CAAleaders in the top 11 of that poll. ODU is No. 5, VCU is No. 8, Drexel is No. 9 and Hofstra is No. 11. The only otherconference to have four in the Top 20 is the Missouri Valley (MVC) with Southern Illinois at No. 1, Creighton atNo. 10, Missouri State at No. 15 and Bradley at No. 19. Currently, ODU is No. 38 and VCU is tied for No. 41 in the AP poll of Feb. 26, while VCU is tied at No. 40 inthe USA Today/ESPN poll. All four of the 20-win plus CAA teams have received votes in the national polls this year. The CAA and Big Eastare the only two to have four teams with 22 or more wins as of Feb. 27. The CAA earned two NCAA bids last year and had gotten two in 2002, so they’ll be eyeing a pair again for thethird time in five years. George Mason was the CAA’s first Final Four team. But, Coach Michael Perry was on a Richmond coachingstaff in 1988 that made a run to the Sweet 16 after beating No. 4 Indiana and No. 5 Georgia Tech. In that Sweet 16,No. 13 seed Richmond’s run was ended by a hot freshman from Temple named Mark Macon, now on the GeorgiaState coaching staff. Thus, Georgia State has two coaches who have been to the Sweet 16. Prior to George Mason’s run last year, UNC Wilmington had defeated No. 4 Southern Cal in the 2002 NCAATournament.

GEORGIA STATE
TOURNAMENT NOTES
Georgia State athletics has chosen Chavelo Holmes as the 2007 “Legend” who will be
honored at the upcoming Colonial Athletic Association basketball championship.
Holmes, a Panthers’ star in the mid 1980’s, will be honored at the Letterman’s Day
Homecoming Game on Saturday, Feb. 17, and then travel with the team to the CAA
Championships on Mar. 2 at the annual Awards Banquet for his recognition by the league
with a Legend from every member school.
“It actually brought tears to my eyes to know that I was remembered and appreciated,”
Holmes noted. “This was a great moment to share with my family and for my four daughters
to understand dad was once a good athlete and college student.”
When he walked on the campus of Georgia State without a scholarship, he was a nobody
who just wanted to play basketball. When he walked off the campus, he was a somebody
who had just scored the most points and grabbed the most rebounds in school history. And, most important, he had
earned a college degree.
It was in 1981 that Chavelo Holmes had earned a college scholarship at Georgia State after a simple summer
workout in the gym with the new head coach, Jim Jarrett. He wasn’t a hot-shot recruit but he knew he could
succeed if given a chance. Holmes had played his prep basketball at Elmwood High in Buffalo, N. Y., but when his
family moved to Atlanta, he began classes at Georgia State on his own.
By the time the 6-4, 180-pound Holmes finished the 1985-86 season, he had set the all-time
Georgia State record for points scored (1,375) and for most rebounds (505) as well as playing in
the most games ever (105). Twenty years later, Holmes still ranks No. 3 in scoring, No. 6 in
games played and No. 9 in rebounds.
As a Panthers freshmen, the youngster averaged a quiet 6.6 points a game, but did earn 13
starts. As a sophomore, Holmes led the team with a stellar 18.3 points per game and a 5.7 rebound average. His
495 points scored were a new school record for a season and his per game average was sixth-best ever.
The sophomore had one game he can always remember, and truthfully say, that he outscored Michael Jordan.
When the Panthers went to Chapel Hill to play the No. 3 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels, Holmes led Georgia
State with 20 points. Number 23 for Carolina and soon-to-be NBA legend Jordan scored just 16 points that
evening.
That sophomore year, Holmes had a 36-point game (vs. Baptist) that was the sixth highest scoring game in
school history at that time.
As a junior, Holmes scored 383 points on the season and was on the team that went to Tennessee and upset the
Volunteers, 52-50, in a major upset. The 0-5 Panthers had gone into Rocky Top country after losing to Oklahoma
and SMU by more than 30 points.
Holmes upped his personal best for a game to 38 points (vs. Florida A&M)
that tied for third most in school history.
His senior season saw him average 13.9 points a game to up his final
scoring total to 1,375 points and made him the highest scorer in Panthers
history.
“Chavelo Holmes is one of the best pure shooters that Georgia State has
ever had,” 24-year Panthers radio veteran Dave Cohen remembers. “And
he played before the three-point shot, so some of his baskets counted as
two’s that today would count as three’s.”
Once a player, always a player, Holmes still plays basketball in an Over-
35 Atlanta City League where he still shows his scoring abilities and thrives
on the competition.
Holmes earned his Georgia State degree in urban studies and has worked
two decades in Atlanta as a real estate manager of multi-family homes and
apartment complexes and is also a licensed realtor. Holmes notes that one
of his primary goals at this time is getting his four daughters through college
to earn their degrees.
