In their last game, the Bulldogs displayed a balanced attack, converting 41 percent from beyond the arc with 12 three-pointers made. Their overall field goal percentage stood at 40 percent, indicating a solid shooting performance. The team also demonstrated an ability to share the ball effectively, racking up 17 assists which contributed to an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.89.


Defensively, Georgia managed nine steals and limited turnovers to just nine for the entire game. This defensive pressure translated into scoring opportunities, as they capitalized on turnovers by scoring 16 points off them.

Rebounding was another area where Georgia showed competence; they pulled down a total of 32 rebounds with eight coming from offensive glass which led to second-chance points tallying up to fifteen.


However, free throw accuracy was less than ideal at fifty-seven percent and will need improvement going forward. Despite this minor setback, the Bulldogs' ability to create high-percentage shots has been a key factor in their performances thus far.
