Tasha Humphrey named SEC Player of the Week
February 25, 2008 | Women's Basketball
Athens -- Georgia's Tasha Humphrey was tabbed SEC Player of the Week on Monday by the league office in Birmingham, a day after she posted game-high tallies of 22 points, 14 rebounds and four assists in the Lady Bulldogs' win over Auburn.
Humphrey, a 6-3, senior from Gainesville, Ga., equaled her season-best totals for rebounds and assists in the victory, Georgia's only game last week. She sealed the win with consecutive field goals at the 2:08 and 1:25 marks in the contest after Auburn had trimmed a 21-point lead with 9:07 remaining all the way down to six points.
During the contest, Humphrey moved past both Kelly Miller and Katrina McClain into the No. 2 position among Georgia's career scoring leaders with 2,199 points. She also inched into the No. 8 spot among the Lady Dogs' career leaders for games started with 116.
Humphrey has now posted double-doubles in each of the Lady Bulldogs' last four games, averaging 21.3 points and 11.8 rebounds during that span. For the season, she leads Georgia in scoring and rebounding with averages of 17.7 ppg and 9.2 rpg. In SEC play, Humphrey is averaging 19.4 ppg.
Humphrey has now been named SEC Player of the Week eight times during her career, the most by any Georgia player and one shy of the league record shared by Sylvia Fowles of LSU, Candace Parker of Tennessee and Armintie Price of Ole Miss.
The Lady Bulldogs, who are 20-7 overall and 7-5 in SEC action, will travel to face South Carolina on Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. in an FSN South regionally televised game.
On Sunday, Georgia will host Tennessee in the regular-season finale at Stegeman Coliseum at 7:00 p.m. That contest will be televised nationally on ESPN2 and will serve as "Senior Day" with players Megan Darrah, Humphrey and Rebecca Rowsey, manager Liz Hathaway and athletic trainer Lissa Ragan honored in pre-game ceremonies.
Less than 700 tickets remain for the Tennessee contest. Those are $5 for adults and $3 for youth high school age and younger and can be purchased at the UGA Ticket Office in Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall from 8:30-4:30 on Monday through Friday or via the internet at www.georgiadogs.com. Any remaining tickets will go on sale at Stegeman Coliseum at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
UGA faculty, staff and students are admitted free of charge to Lady Bulldog games with a valid UGA Card. Those tickets will be distributed on Sunday beginning at 5:30 at Ticket Booth 4 of Stegeman Coliseum.
