Late in the first quarter, Georgia found itself in a tie game and quite the ideal situation. Texas A&M point guard Chennedy Carter sprinted toward the bench with two fouls, would sit for seven minutes and the opportunity was golden.
Carter is the SEC’s leading scorer entering Sunday’s play with an average of 20.5 points per game (yes, that’s even higher now), and the Lady Bulldogs had a chance to build a lead. Georgia’s advantage of not having to contend with Carter is like the New England Patriots being without Tom Brady for a quarter, in spirit of the NFL conference championships, of course.
