Athens, Ga. -- The Georgia Lady Bulldogs will take on the Duke Blue Devils in the second game of the Chattanooga Regional this Saturday afternoon. The Lady Dogs and Blue Devils will tip-off 30 minutes following the completion of the LSU-Liberty game at approximately 2:30 p.m.
The matchup between LSU and Liberty is set for 12:00 p.m.
Both contests will be televised on ESPN. The Georgia-Duke game also will air on Magic 102.1 FM radio in Athens, with the same audio broadcast available on the GXtra premium portion of the UGA Athletic Association's web site, www.georgiadogs.com.
Georgia, the sixth seed in the Chattanooga Regional, defeated 11th-seeded Rice and third-seeded Texas in the first and second rounds of the Tournament last weekend in Dallas, Texas. The Lady Bulldogs improved to 24-9 on the year with those wins.
Second-seeded Duke topped Canisius and Boston College to advance to Chattanooga. The Blue Devils are now 30-4 on the season.
Georgia is making its 22nd appearance in 24 editions of the NCAA Tournament, including its 11th straight. During those last 11 tournaments, the Lady Bulldogs have reached the "Sweet 16" eight times, advanced to the "Elite Eight" on six occasions and gone on to the 1995, 1996 and 1999 Final Fours.
