Former Lady Dogs picked in draft

It didn’t take long for Georgia’s entrants in Friday’s WNBA draft to learn their fate.   Three former Lady Bulldogs were selected in the first nine picks, making Georgia the first school in league history to have three first-round selections. As expected, twins Kelly and Coco Miller will go their separate ways. Charlotte selected Kelly [...]

NFL Draft: Seymour and Stroud picked in first round

From the sixth pick of the day to the final selection, Georgia represented well at the NFL draft Saturday.   The Bulldogs’ former defensive tackle duo of Richard Seymour and Marcus Stroud both landed high first-round selections, with Seymour chosen sixth by New England and Stroud chosen 13th by Jacksonville. Seymour will join former Georgia [...]

Despite frustrating season end, Lady Dogs look to next year

As an avid basketball fan, Georgia sophomore forward Tameiko Washington watched the NCAA women’s regional semifinals on television last weekend. But that doesn’t mean she didn’t get the frustrating feeling she wasn’t there herself. ‘It’s awkward watching highlights of the tournament and not seeing us,’ Washington said. ‘Losing was such a surprise, and it makes [...]

Lady Dogs fall to the Tigers

It wasn’t supposed to end this way for Georgia.   Not after last year’s gut wrenching loss in the regional final, not in Kelly and Coco Miller’s final game at Stegeman Coliseum and not to a No. 10 seed. Georgia’s "March to the Arch," however, never left Athens. "It’s too bad it had to end [...]

15th seed Liberty looking for a ‘miracle’

Georgia head coach Andy Landers doesn’t look at tonight’s NCAA tournament East Region first round with Liberty as the start of a possible championship run or the first step to St. Louis, site of the Final Four.   He sees it as step one of … one? "We can’t worry about who we might play [...]

NCAA tourney descends on Athens

For four women’s basketball teams, Athens represents a place where national championship runs begin — or simply an opportunity to put themselves on the map. The "March to the Arch" — St. Louis is the site of this season’s Final Four — begins at Stegeman Coliseum for rounds one and two of the NCAA tournament [...]

Lady Dogs to enter the East Region at No. 2 seed

More than 200 women’s basketball fans crammed the sky box at Sanford Stadium Sunday afternoon to congratulate Georgia on winning the SEC tournament last week and hope the Lady Bulldogs earned a No. 1 seed in the process.   But they left grumbling after the NCAA tournament selection committee, headed by Maryalyce Jeremiah, not only [...]

WNBA in Miller twins’ near future

Kelly and Coco Miller know the day is coming.   The day when they won’t walk to class together, won’t attend basketball practice together and won’t live with each other. Bring up the matter to them and you see a new side of the Millers — one that’s so unlike the tenacious and focused attitude [...]

Tennessee likely to take SEC title

No. 1 Tennessee (28-1 overall, 14-0 SEC, No. 1 AP) The Lady Vols lost star forward Tamika Catchings, arguably the nation’s top player, to a knee injury this season and got better. Behind Michelle Snow and Gwen Jackson, Tennessee won 12 straight since losing Catchings, including a win over No. 3 Connecticut. If the SEC [...]

Lady Dogs drop to third after SEC loss

Georgia centers Tawana McDonald and Christi Thomas have struggled with staying out of foul trouble all season. Sunday, it cost their team second place in the SEC. Thomas fouled out with 10:09 left in the game and McDonald picked up her fifth on the next possession, giving 6-foot-6 Chantelle Anderson virtually no competition inside as [...]
