Coach Joni Taylor’s team tips off at noon today in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, looking to build on substantial momentum from a deep run in SEC Tournament.
Georgia fell 67-62 to South Carolina in the tournament final, but that contest was tied at the half and close throughout. Playing toe-to-toe with a perennial power and NCAA #1 seed like the Gamecocks was something this Bulldog team might not have been able to do at the beginning of the season. But the Hoop Hounds played well on both ends of the court in that tournament run, and indeed down the stretch headed into it.
