- The Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball team plays No. 1-ranked South Carolina in the quarterfinals of the 2020 SEC Tournament this Friday at noon ET. Eric Frede and Tamika Catchings will call the action on the SEC Network.
- Georgia, the No. 9 seed, defeated No. 8 seed Alabama, 68-61, on Thursday. The Lady Bulldogs led for nearly 30 minutes on their way to the fifth win in the last seven games this season.
- Redshirt-junior center Jenna Staiti continued her impressive pace. The Cumming, Ga., native scored 20 points to go along with 14 rebounds and 7 blocks against Alabama. It marked her fourth-straight 20-point game and her eighth consecutive contest in double figures.
- Staiti is averaging 20.3 points and 9.9 rebounds per matchup over her last eight games. She has also hit 50.8 percent (60-of-118) from the field and 88.9 percent (40-of-45) from the free-throw line during this current stretch. Thursday’s performance against Alabama marked Staiti’s sixth double-double of the year. She only had one double-double in her first two collegiate seasons combined.
- Freshman guard Chloe Chapman played arguably her best game of the season on Thursday. She scored a career-best 8 points to go along with 6 assists and 4 rebounds. Chapman, who drew her fourth start of the year after taking the place of the injured Que Morrison, played a career-high 38 minutes against Alabama.
- Junior guard Gabby Connally scored in double figures for the fourth-straight game with her 16 points against Alabama.
