Georgia Back in AP Top 25
February 16, 2026 | Women's Basketball
ATHENS, Ga. — Fresh off a victory against No. 5 Vanderbilt, the Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball team is back in the Associated Press Top 25 with a No. 24 national ranking.
The Lady Bulldogs boast a 20-6 overall record with three wins against top 20 teams — the most for the program in the regular season since the 2010-11 campaign.
This past week, the Lady Bulldogs became the quickest Georgia team to reach 20 wins in eight years. The latest triumph came against fifth-ranked Vanderbilt, marking Georgia's first victory against a top 5 opponent inside Stegeman Coliseum since 2010.
Sophomore guard Dani Carnegie leads the Lady Bulldogs in scoring and is coming off a 29-point effort against the Commodores. Carnegie is fourth in the SEC in scoring during league games with 20.3 ppg. Junior guard Rylie Theuerkauf has scored in double figures in six-straight contests, including back-to-back 20-point efforts at Missouri and Mississippi State.
Georgia returns to Stegeman Coliseum this Thursday for another top 25 showdown against No. 10 Oklahoma. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. on the SEC Network. Tickets are available on GeorgiaDogs.com.
