Quotes
Coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson
On it being the third time in program history going undefeated in non-conference play…
"It is very special. I'm just happy for them because they work really hard and they are able to enjoy one another."
On how this game helps the team headed into conference play…
"The key word is confidence. I need everybody to have confidence going in. At any moment, anybody could get in foul trouble, and the next young lady's got to step up when somebody may get in foul trouble. So, this is probably the most we've ever scored and it's super important because in the SEC, everybody plays defense."
On Zhen Craft getting her first career double-double…
"I've really had to try to convince her that she can score on the low block. She's very athletic and she's got multiple moves and she's got counter moves down there,and she's got some of the best hands I've ever seen. She can grab everything and offensive rebound and do the little things that allow her to get some more points."
Zhen Craft
Forward | #8 | Freshman
On her first double-double of the season…
"I'm feeling really great. A really good team win. We all had a lot of energy this game. It's the first game in a minute since Christmas break, so everyone was really excited to play."
On preparing for their SEC opener against Ole Miss…
"Definitely defense. Working on our toughness. We know we can lock down a lot of people. We have a lot of great defenders. On the offensive side, we have a lot of offensive threats. We've got a lot of people not taking us seriously. So we're going to come out here, we're going to show a lot of people that Georgia basketball is on top."
What's Next
Georgia opens SEC play on the road against Ole Miss on Thursday, January 1st at 3 p.m. ET. The game will be available to stream on SECN+.
