Lady Dogs lose to Kentucky by double digits

By on February 12, 2010

Struggles continue to mount for the Georgia women’s basketball team following another loss Thursday at the hands of the No. 17 Kentucky Wildcats. For the fifth time in their last six games, the No. 19 Lady Dogs ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard after a 64-48 loss in Lexington, Ky. Three separate [...]

Injuries plague Lady Dogs’ senior leaders

By on February 10, 2010

The second meeting between the Georgia women’s basketball team and the Kentucky Wildcats comes under less-than-desirable circumstances for the Lady Dogs than the first go-around. Georgia will enter battle tonight without its senior leader, center Angel Robinson, and will have limited use of senior point guard Ashley Houts, as the duo is still recovering from [...]

Student attendance key to wins

By on February 9, 2010

As I sat on press row to cover the Lady Dogs basketball game Sunday — just like I have for every Georgia home game this season — I look across the court toward the student section and noticed something missing. Students were missing. The silent stare from hundreds of empty red seatbacks is almost criminal [...]

Lady Dogs fail to score 50 in loss to Gamecocks

By on February 7, 2010

The Georgia women’s basketball team has tasted defeat before, but this time it was extra sour. The No. 14 Lady Dogs scored a season-low in points and shot just 29 percent from the field  Sunday afternoon en route to a 52-42 loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks in Stegeman Coliseum. “We’ve got to do a [...]

Lady Dogs bite Tigers in overtime showdown

By on February 4, 2010

If you were expecting an offensive shootout, then you came to the wrong place. And Georgia women’s basketball head coach Andy Landers knew it. “If you like defense, this was a good one. If you like offense, this game was about as ugly as it comes,” Landers said. Freshman guard Jasmine James led the Lady [...]

Houts to ‘play it by ear’ with ankle injury

By on February 3, 2010

The Georgia women’s basketball team is putting a new spin on the term “breaking ankles.” As the No. 14 Lady Dogs (18-4, 5-4) return home tonight looking to turn around a season-long three-game losing streak, senior point guard Ashley Houts is still dealing with a nagging ankle injury she suffered almost two weeks ago. Houts [...]

Lady Dogs struggle defensively in loss to Auburn, Houts out with ankle injury

By on February 1, 2010

The Georgia women’s basketball team started this season 16-0 — the best start in program history. Since then, the Lady Dogs (18-4, 5-4) have lost twice as many games as they’ve won and now sit in a tie for fifth place in the SEC standings. Georgia lost its third-straight game Sunday, this time to the [...]

Poor shooting cost Lady Dogs second-straight loss

By on January 29, 2010

Shooting. It’s a relatively simple skill but one that the Georgia women’s basketball team simply cannot seem to figure out. Despite grabbing more rebounds, forcing more turnovers and dishing out more assists than Mississippi State on Thursday night, the ninth-ranked Lady Dogs lost their second consecutive game by a score of 74-66. It was that [...]

Freshman steps into post role for the Lady Dogs

Coming off its first home loss of the season, the Georgia women’s basketball team hits the road looking to avoid another first: a losing streak. The ninth-ranked Lady Dogs (18-2, 5-2) head to Starkville, Miss., tonight to take on a confident Mississippi State team (13-7, 4-3) that is fresh off an impressive road victory over [...]
