In their last three outings, the Lady Bulldogs have experienced both narrow defeats and hard-fought victories. Their most recent game against Ball State Cardinals ended in a tight one-point loss (51-52), despite out-rebounding the Cardinals with 38 rebounds to 32 and posting a higher two-point field goal percentage (48 percent). However, turnovers were an issue as they recorded 16 compared to Ball State's 14.


The previous game saw a more favorable outcome for Georgia with a win over Pittsburgh Panthers (65-59). The Lady Bulldogs capitalized on fast break opportunities scoring 17 points and dominated the boards with an impressive total of 48 rebounds. They also shot better from beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of 50 percent.

However, consistency has been challenging as evidenced by another loss prior to that against Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (53-64), where they struggled with field goal accuracy at only 32 percent. Despite this, they managed to keep turnovers low without any team turnovers recorded.


Looking ahead to the upcoming clash against South Carolina Gamecocks, rebounding appears to be one of Georgia's strengths – consistently outperforming opponents in this area. Maintaining control over turnovers will be crucial for securing possession and maximizing scoring opportunities.
