ATHENS, Ga. — Following wins against a pair of top 20 squads this past week, the University of Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball team has earned a No. 23 ranking in the latest edition of the Associated Press Top 25.
The Lady Bulldogs sit at 18-3 overall after posting an 82-59 victory against No. 16 Ole Miss and a 72-67 triumph against No. 11 Kentucky this past Saturday. It marked the first time since 2011 that Georgia has defeated a pair of top 20 teams over a six-day span.
Georgia's 23-point win against Ole Miss represented the team's largest margin of victory against a ranked team since 2006, while the win at UK handed the Wildcats their first home loss of the season.
Four Georgia players average double figures in scoring this year, led by reigning SEC Player of the Week Dani Carnegie. The Mount Vernon, New York, native is second in the conference in scoring during SEC play, averaging 23 ppg against league foes. Last week, Carnegie scored 30-plus points in back-to-back games — the first Lady Bulldog do accomplish that feat since four-time All-American Janet Harris back in 1987.
Georgia returns to Stegeman Coliseum Thursday night for a top 25 matchup against No. 24 Alabama. Tip time is set for 6:30 p.m. ET. Tickets are still available on GeorgiaDogs.com.
