Lady Bulldogs Outpaced by Tigers in Fierce Court Clash
The Georgia Lady Bulldogs faced a challenging contest at Stegeman Coliseum, ending with a score of 80-54 in favor of the visiting LSU Tigers. The Lady Bulldogs' season record now stands at an unranked position, while the Tigers boast a rank of 9. The home team's effort was not enough to overcome the offensive surge from LSU, who tallied up 80 points against Georgia's 54.
From the outset, the Lady Bulldogs were on their heels as LSU took an early lead with 24 points in the first quarter compared to Georgia's 15. Despite a valiant effort in the third quarter where they scored an impressive 22 points, it was not enough to close the gap created by LSU's consistent scoring across all four quarters. The Tigers' final quarter push with another 20 points sealed their victory.
The statistics tell a tale of two contrasting performances. The Lady Bulldogs made only 21 field goals out of their total attempts and shot at a modest rate from beyond the arc with six three-pointers made out of eighteen attempts for a three-point shooting percentage rounded to thirty-three percent. Their free throw accuracy was commendable though, making six out of eight which rounds up to seventy-five percent success rate.
On defense, however, they struggled without recording any blocks and managed only four steals throughout the game. This lackluster defensive performance contributed significantly to their inability to contain LSU’s offense which executed fifty percent shooting from two-point range and forty-five percent overall field goal accuracy.
LSU dominated various facets of play including rebounds where they collected forty-three compared to Georgia’s thirty-five and assists where they distributed seventeen successful passes leading to scores versus twelve by Georgia.
