The Announcers said it best Sunday, the Ladydawgs worked on the things that showed up. The defense was the first thing, they were challenging the screener and it forced Ole Miss to shoot a lot of jumpers. The first game in Oxford, Ole Miss scored over 40 in the paint, Sunday was totally different and we jammed Cotie McMahon every time she tried to get to the basket. The results were 20 points lower from the first game.
On offense, I saw the UGA team that I saw in Knoxville last year at Tennessee. We were not shooting fast break threes. We ran our offense that revolved around the post players and it freed up Dani to come out and face up the defender to either drive to the basket or if the defender gave her to much room, then Dani had a good look for a three. If our shooters have room, they will knock down the jumpers. We have to continue to play this style of basketball and we will be fine. I noticed that Cece Dennis was behind the team's bench at the game. She was the number one player in Georgia before her ACL tear. She is working hard to return to the court. She has visited Auburn already and Ole Miss was on her list. UGA might be the leader for Cece and an early commitment could be coming. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Good win on the road. What a streaky team. Coach Abe needs to give Savannah's minutes to Faison if she doesn't quit shooting 3s and turning the ball over. The second quarter was a lot like the 4th quarter against Texas A&M. Arkansas scored 1 point and had a streak of 0-21 shooting where they didn't score a basket for over 12 minutes. Georgia let Arkansas back into the game in the 4th quarter, but luckily pulled away at the end. UGA should be really close to breaking inside the top 25. Next 3 games are against ranked teams.

It got scary in the fourth, but we made the plays when we needed to make them. It shouldn't have ended that close, but Arkansas played hard to come back in the fourth quarter. I am glad we got Mia back for this one to help Dani. I thought Vera played well in stretches. I wish we could get her a little more involved overall, but…fouls.

If we can somehow manage 2-1 or 3-0 over this next stretch of games, we could start being in the host discussion. I don't think a win against Alabama at home would be Quad 1, but it still would be considered a good win. Beating Tennessee and/or Kentucky would be Quad 1. The easy non conference schedule hurts us with hosting though. Kansas has struggled in their conference, so we don't have a quality non conference win unless Kansas closes strongly.

It's great to be 3-3 in the conference and back in the hunt for post season play.
