Opening Tip Storylines

» Georgia hosts the No. 16-ranked Ole Miss Rebels on Sunday to cap off the Lady Bulldogs' Alumni Reunion Weekend. Tipoff is set for noon ET on the SEC Network.

» Close to 50 former Lady Bulldogs will be in attendance, including Women's Basketball Hall of Fame members Andy Landers, Teresa Edwards, Janet Harris and Katrina McClain. 1996 National Player of the Year Saudia Roundtree and 2005 National Freshman of the Year Tasha Humphrey will also return to Athens for Sunday's game.

» Georgia will honor the 1995 and 1996 Final Four teams during the third quarter media timeout. The Lady Bulldogs reached the pinnacle of college basketball back in the mid-1990s, making back-to-back Final Fours and finishing national runner-up in 1996. Georgia compiled a 56-10 record over those two seasons.

» This year's Georgia team began the year 14-0, its best start since the 2009-10 season and only the fifth time in school history the program has finished non-conference play with an undefeated record. Currently, Georgia is 15-3 with losses to top-ranked teams (No. 2) South Carolina, (No. 6) LSU and (No. 16) Ole Miss.

» Georgia is 9-1 at home this season, its best home record through 10 games since 2022-23 — Coach ABE's first year with the program.

» Georgia has scored 80 points or more eight times this season — the most 80-point games through the first 18 contests for the program since the 2005-06 campaign.

» Freshman forward Zhen Craft is coming off her first career start. She scored 11 points and totaled eight rebounds in 29 minutes at South Carolina. Craft is filling in for usual starter Mia Woolfolk, who suffered a sprained ankle in the team's game against LSU. Woolfolk is day-to-day.

Carnegie One of SEC's Elite Scorers

Sophomore guard Dani Carnegie leads Georgia and is eighth in the SEC in scoring with 17.5 ppg. Carnegie paces the conference in 3-pointers made (51) and is third in 3-point FG percentage (41.8).

Turner and Woolfolk Continue to Contribute

2025 All-Freshmen Team selections, sophomore guard Trinity Turner and sophomore forward Mia Woolfolk continue to make an impact for Georgia all over the floor.

Both Turner and Woolfolk are averaging double figures, with Turner scoring 12.4 points per game and Woolfolk close behind at 11.9. Turner leads the team in both assists and steals, dishing out an average of 4.6 assists per game, while swiping two steals per game. Woolfolk's defensive presence has been just as impactful, as she ranks third on the team in rebounding at 5.1 boards per game and second in steals, averaging 1.8 per contest.

Georgia Tops Texas A&M in Overtime Thriller

Trailing 37-22 at halftime, the Lady Bulldogs rallied to outscore the Aggies 32-17 in the second half to force overtime. Georgia held the Aggies to a 0-for-24 shooting effort in the 4th and overtime.

Theuerkauf is a Top Target

Junior guard Rylie Theuerkauf has established herself as a scoring threat. Theuerkauf ranks second on the team 3-pint FGM with 37, shooting 40 percent from behind the arc.

Craft Shining

Georgia freshman forward Zhen Craft has been a bright spot for the Lady Bulldogs. She is second on the team in rebounding and is the team's fifth leading scorer Craft averages 7.1 points and 5.2 boards per game.

Perfect in Nonconference Play

The Lady Bulldogs finished nonconference play undefeated for only the fifth occasion in program history. Georgia's 14-0 record marked the best start for the team since the 2009-10 season.

Dawgs Dominate Tech

Georgia owns a commanding 38-10 lead in the all-time series against its rival Georgia Tech. This year's win against the Yellow Jackets marked a significant historical performance. The Lady Bulldogs' 28-point margin was the widest margin in the series since 1994, and the 87 points scored were Georgia's most against the Yellow Jackets since 1999. Georgia's win marked the program's first victory over Tech in Athens since 2017.

Record Half Against Furman

The Lady Bulldogs scored 56 points against Furman, marking the most points in any half for a Georgia team since the year 2000. Carnegie hit five 3-pointers and was one of five players in double figures against the Paladins.

Transfer, Freshmen Classes Rank Among Nation's Best

Georgia signed an impressive transfer portal and freshman classes in 2025. UGA's transfer portal class was ranked as high as No. 5 nationally (247sports.com) and the freshman class was ranked No. 18 nationally (by ESPN). The Lady Bulldogs are one of three SEC teams, joining Tennessee and LSU, to rank in the top-5 in the transfer portal and top-20 in freshman class rankings.

The Lady Bulldogs' five transfers include Dani Carnegie (Georgia Tech), Enjulina Gonzalez (Miami Ohio), Rylie Theuerkauf (Wake Forest), Aicha Ndour (Wichita State) and Vera Ojenuwa (Arkansas). This year's freshman class includes Jocelyn Faison (Atlanta).

Scoring Options All Around

Among Georgia's nine players with college experience (including returners and transfers), five averaged double-figure scoring margins last year. Gonzalez (16.9 ppg at Miami Ohio) leads all returning scorers, including Carnegie (12.9 ppg at Georgia Tech), Theuerkauf (12.0 ppg at Wake Forest), Turner (12.2 ppg at Georgia) and Woolfolk (11.0 ppg at Georgia).

This year's roster features three players who led their teams in scoring last year. Turner was Georgia's leading scorer, Gonzalez paced Miami (Ohio) and Theuerkauf led all scorers at Wake Forest.

Highly-Ranked "Portal Get" Carnegie Joins Lady Bulldogs

Among five portal additions is 2025 ACC Sixth Woman of the Year and five-time ACC Rookie of the Week Dani Carnegie from Georgia Tech. Ranked No. 10 overall on ESPN's list for top transfer for 2025-26, Carnegie led her team in 3-pointers made and was seventh in the ACC with 66 total 3-pointers last year. Carnegie moved to the state of Georgia at age 12 from New York and finished her prep career at Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga.

Georgia Family

Coach ABE preaches family and culture, and it shows in the longevity of her staff. Associate Head Coach Tahnee Balerio and assistants Isoken Uzamere, Nykesha Sales and Ebone Henry-Harris have been with Coach ABE a combined 43 seasons!

Battles is Back

Georgia welcomes back All-SEC guard Diamond Battles, who now serves as a graduate assistant. Battles was one of just three SEC players to rank in the top 15 in scoring, assists and steals during the 2022-23 season.

A Winning Tradition

Georgia women's basketball stands among the most elite programs in the SEC and the country. The Lady Bulldogs rank second in SEC history and 19th nationally with 1,101 all-time wins – one of just six league teams to reach the 1,00-victory mark (Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, South Carolina, Auburn and Texas). Georgia is tied for second in total conference victories (344) and third, behind Tennessee and South Carolina, with seven league championships.

'95, '96 Teams Celebrate 30 Year Anniversary

This year marks the 30-year anniversary of two of the greatest teams in Georgia history across all sports.
The Lady Bulldogs went on a remarkable run during the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons. Both squads reached the Final Four, with the Lady Bulldogs finishing national runner-up in 1996.
La'Keshia Frett, Tracy Henderson, Saudia Roundtree, Kedra Holland and Tiffany Walker guided the 1994-95 team to a 28-5 overall record en route to the Final Four. A year later, the 1996 squad became the first team in the program's storied history to win the SEC regular season title and earn a trip to the Final Four.
