Relationship between the ideal asgas constant $R$ and entropy

So it dawned on myme the other day that the ideal gas constant ($R=8.31$ J mol$^{-1} K^{-1}$)$$R = \pu{8.31 J mol-1 K-1}$$ has the same units as molar entropy. Is there some deeper meaning behind this or is it just a coincidence that this occurs?
