It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster week for the Georgia women’s basketball team. After a solid start to the season, things took a turn on Thursday when they faced off against Georgia State and fell short with a score of 66-60. This loss brings their season record to 3-1, but let’s take a moment to look at what’s happening and what’s up next for these talented athletes.
The game against Georgia State was a tough one, and it seems that the momentum just didn’t swing in favor of Georgia. Despite putting on a strong fight, they couldn’t quite close the gap, resulting in that disappointing score. Fans were hoping to see an extension of their winning streak from earlier games, but sometimes, even the best teams hit bumps in the road.
But not to fret! The Bulldogs are ready to bounce back as they gear up for their next challenge: a big matchup against in-state rival Georgia Tech on Sunday, November 17. This game is not just another game; it’s the 200th meeting between these two teams, and you can bet that both sides will be bringing their A-game.
The game will tip off at 2 p.m. at the McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta, and fans can catch all the action live on ACCN. If you’re unable to tune in, no worries! There will also be a radio broadcast provided by the Georgia Bulldog Network on Sirius 391.
So far this season, the Bulldogs have made quite an impression starting with a flawless record of 3-0. They’ve enjoyed victories against teams like Tennessee Tech, Texas Southern, and North Florida, winning each by an average of 15.3 points per game. Last Sunday against Texas Southern, they showcased a phenomenal performance, coming out on top 92-64. They even managed a school-record rebounding margin of +30!
One player who’s really shined this season is Asa Newell. In the very first game of the season against Tennessee Tech, Asa knocked down a whopping 26 points, tying the record for the most points ever scored by a Georgia freshman in their collegiate debut. That’s impressive! This record was previously held by the legendary Dominique Wilkins back in 1979.
This season, the Bulldogs have bolstered their roster significantly with top-notch recruiting classes. Both their freshmen and transfer classes ranked among the nation’s top 10. With the transfers listed as No. 8 by On3.com and the freshmen rated No. 10 by 247Sports.com and Rivals.com, it’s clear that this program is on the rise!
As Georgia heads into this heated rivalry matchup against Georgia Tech, all eyes will be on the court to see how they respond following their recent loss. The team has shown they’re capable of dominating the game and are undoubtedly looking to prove themselves once again. So, mark your calendars, find your jerseys, and get ready for a thrilling game—because after all, it’s not just a game; it’s a rivalry!
