With all due respect to Oklahoma, Rutgers and the other three foes in that March Madness quartet Sunday s date with carries a little added intensity of the intrastate rivalry variety. The Lady Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets will square off at 2:30 p.m. in a CSS regionally televised matchup, the first of a schoolrecord 14 regular-season TV dates for Georgia during the season. I ve said it numerous times and I ll say it again, if the University of Georgia and got together to compete in mumblety peg, it would draw a crowd and their would be lots of emotion displayed by the fans of both teams, Andy Landers said. Georgia would like nothing more than continue its impressive start to the campaign. The Lady Bulldogs, who are ranked No. 13 and No. 16 in the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today coaches polls this week, respectively, are a perfect 7-0 to date. Only one of those victories has been of the single-digit variety. Lady Bulldog headlines...

The Jackets lone setback came at Oklahoma State without leading scorer Alex Montgomery, who was still recovering from a knee injury suffered late last season. Series history vs. the Jackets Georgia sports a 28-3 lead in its all-time series with, including an 11-0 mark at Stegeman Coliseum. The Lady Bulldogs swept the first 24 matchups, traditionally by a very hefty margin. Georgia won the first double-dozen dates by an average of 25.9 points. That changed seven seasons ago when Tech staged a late rally to upset Georgia at the Russell Athletic Shootout in Philips Arena. Two years later, the Jackets won the first on-campus matchup between the intrastate foes in 14 seasons when they again upset the Lady Bulldogs. Georgia then won three straight meetings, before notched another victory last season in Atlanta. A complete box score from that contest as well as game-by-game results in the series can be found on Page 3 of these Game Notes. In the most recent matchup in Athens, the Lady Bulldogs secured a decision on Dec. 2, Georgia Lady Bulldog Basketball Active Roster No. Name Pos. Ht. Cl. Hometown Noteworthy... Tech led that game by eight at the intermission before the Lady Bulldogs opened the second half with a 10-2 run. With the game tied and 1:55 remaining, Georgia finished with a 12-5 run, including making 10-of-10 free throws down the stretch. Tasha Humphrey led Georgia with 23 points, while Ashley Houts chipped in 16 and Angel Robinson added 13. Iasia Hemingway paced the Jackets with 22 points. Lady Dogs against the ACC Georgia is (.841) all-time against schools currently in the ACC. Georgia has played every ACC school but Wake Forest and owns.500 or better record against every remaining school but Duke. In addition to the 28-3 record against, the Lady Bulldogs are: 1-0 vs. Boston College; 12-5 versus ; 0-3 vs. Duke; 7-0 vs. State; 2-1 vs. Maryland; 2-0 vs. Miami; 5-1 vs. North Carolina; 8-0 vs. N.C.

Porsha Phillips double-double sparked Georgia to its largest margin of victory of the season as the Lady Bulldogs topped UAB, Phillips was exceptional early, with 11 points and nine boards in the first half alone. 1 Ashley Houts G 5-6 Jr. Trenton, Ga. 13 straight points at UTC gave UGA lead for good 2 Ebony Jones F 6-2 Fr.

Pre-season first-team All-SEC by media, coaches Keeping an eye on... Entering the game: Ashley Houts is... 6 points from 2,000 for her career 18 points from No. 21 Janese Hardrick among UGA s career leaders 31 points from No. 20 Tawana McDonald among UGA s career leaders 7 steals from No. 6 Janet Harris among UGA s career leaders 8 FTs made from No. 7 Christi Thomas among UGA s career leaders 21 FT attempts from No. 9 La Keshia Frett among UGA s career leaders Angel Robinson is... 3 blocks from No. 7 Tammye Jenkins among UGA s career leaders 8 points from becoming UGA s 31st 1,000-point career scorer Phillips eventually tallied 13 points to match her 13 rebounds, followed by Anne Marie Armstrong s 11 points and 10 each from Meredith Mitchell and Angel Robinson who logged 18 minutes of action in her first appearance since suffering an injury vs. Rutgers Nov. 22. Porsha was great, Andy Landers said. The rebounds she didn t get were just as impressive as the ones she got if you can believe that. She was going after everything. We talked before the game about that we have been a terrible rebounding team, but the objective is to be back even by Christmas and our kids know that we have to rebound the ball better, but no one displayed how important it was to rebound as much as Porsha did tonight. Georgia entered the game with a -4.0 rebound margin over the first six games of the season but virtually erased that by outrebounding the Blazers, The Lady Bulldogs got out to another fast start, running out to a 24-4 just under nine minutes into the contest. We came out and started very well, Landers said. We put a lot of points on the board and jumped out to a lead, which we seem to have a knack for doing now. That makes things a little bit easier.

3 Lady Bulldogs vs. Game Notes Page 3 The lead bulged to 32 on a three-pointer by Mitchell with 11:49 left and topped out at with 3:50 remaining before UAB scored 12 of the final 13 points of the evening to pull within 29. A first in the UGA-GT series It s difficult to play 32 times and still log a series first but that s exactly what the Lady Bulldogs and the Yellow Jackets will do on Sunday afternoon. For the first time ever, both Georgia and enter the matchup ranked in the Associated Press poll. The Lady Bulldogs are at No. 13 in this week s ledger, while the Yellow Jackets are currently at No. 23. Georgia has been virtually an AP mainstay since the beginning of the season. The Lady Bulldogs have been ranked in a total of 435 weekly editions of the AP poll, including 252 appearances in the top 10 and 145 in the top five., which has appeared in the AP poll for 13 weeks, returned to the rankings this week after a two-week hiatus. The Jackets were tabbed No. 19 in the preseason but dropped out after the Oklahoma State loss. A coach s dream to date Nurturing development and improvement is probably near the top of the list of goals of every coach at every level. That s why Andy Landers had a little extra spring in his step during pre-season practices this fall. Landers knew his 31st season in Athens offered him a coach s dream. You re challenged by the idea that you can get better every day, Landers said. This is a team that absolutely can improve every single game right up the end of the season because there s so many young people with so much to learn. You re not going to get it in a game. You re not going to get it in the first half of the season. It s going to be an ongoing process. We have to be as coaches good communicators with young people so that they know they understand what they are getting right and how to build on that and what needs to be corrected so that they can make those corrections. Seven games into the campaign, Landers is extremely pleased with what he s seen. Tradition ALWAYS graduates to the tune of 102% There s a common catch phrase used by numerous college athletic teams: Tradition Never Graduates. Well, with Lady Bulldog Basketball, that saying has been altered to Tradition ALWAYS Graduates. During his 30 seasons at Georgia, Andy Landers has coached 54 four-year letterwinners. Only one of those players, 2009 senior Danielle Taylor, has not earned her degree from the UGA. Taylor, a Social Work major, is spending this year completing a year-long internship she could not undertake while still playing basketball and will receive her degree in May Landers only two non-graduating four-year letterwinners other than Taylor completed their degrees in Kedra Holland-Corn (above left with Landers) secured her degree in sociology in May, while Lady (Hardmon) Grooms received her diploma in recreation and leisure studies in August. Adding to the impressive ledger is the fact Tina Taylor actually received three degrees while she was at UGA for six years of eligibility due to knee injuries. Taylor earned her bachelor s in accounting in four years, added a second degree in finance in her fifth year and received a master s in accounting in the final year in Athens. To calculate Landers unofficial graduation rate, we feel strongly that he should be awarded extra credit for the extra degrees Taylor earned while eligible to compete. Therefore, 54 four-year Lady Bulldogs possess a total of 55 diplomas from the University of Georgia, giving Landers a graduation rate of 102 percent! That tally doesn t even include the degree in child & family development fifth-year senior and three-year letterwinner Angel Robinson (above right with Landers) has already earned. Robinson is now pursuing a master s in adult education. The Lady Bulldogs have been impressive in some form or fashion in each of those outings. In its last four games, Georgia has rolled to wins over State, Texas A&M-Corpus, Southern Miss and UAB by an average of 26.0 points per game. We played four pretty solid halves of basketball here, especially when you consider it s the third game in four days, Landers said after the Southern Miss victory in the championship game of the Lady Eagle Thanksgiving Classic.

I continue to be pleased with our veterans and the example they set. They are doing a good job incorporating and encouraging our younger players in what we try to do. Robinson back in action Angel Robinson returned to the court for the first time in three games during the UAB win. The senior from Marietta was injured with 9:02 left against Rutgers on Nov. 22 when she fell in a pile of players and slammed her head on the floor. Robinson was placed on spine board and transported to St. Mary s Hospital. She underwent a CT scan and X-rays, which were negative, and Robinson was discharged from the hospital on Sunday evening. Robinson s did not play against State on Nov. 25. She traveled with the team but did not dress for two games at Southern Miss Lady Eagle Thanksgiving Classic. She came within one rebound of a doubledouble in just 18 minutes of action against the Blazers. JJ is SEC FOW...again For the second time in three weeks, Georgia s Jasmine James has been named the SEC Freshman of the Week. The league office in Birmingham, Ala., announced the honor on Monday. James averaged 19.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists while leading Georgia in scoring in wins over State, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Southern Miss. The Memphis native also posted stellar shooting percentages of 51.4 percent from the field and 89.5 percent from the line and dished out 15 assists to just three turnovers during those contests. Classmate Anne Marie Armstrong was another strong candidate for the honor. She logged her first start against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and averaged 12.3 points in the same three games. James also was tabbed as SEC Freshman of the Week on Nov. 16, a day after scoring a team-high 15 points in Georgia s upset victory over No. 13 Oklahoma in her collegiate debut. All told, five Lady Bulldog freshmen have secured SEC Freshman of the Week honors a total of 11 times since the award was introduced in Holiday hardware for two Ashley Houts was named the Most Valuable Player of last weekend s Lady Eagle Thanksgiving Classic, while Jasmine James joined her on the all-tournament team. In Friday s win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Houts scored 16 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out five assists. James scored a game-high 18 points. In the win over tourney host Southern Miss in the championship game, Houts posted 17 points, six steals and four assists. James poured in a game-high 24 points, one shy of her career high. Low- and High-ball history Through the years, much has been made of Georgia s record when its offense clicks. With their win over Southern Miss, the Lady Bulldogs improved to when scoring 80 or more points under Andy Landers, an astronomical winning percentage of With their Nov. 22 win over Rutgers, the Lady Bulldogs made history on the other end of the scoring spectrum, however. The victory over the Scarlet Knights represented the first time in 967 games coached by Andy Landers at Georgia that the Lady Bulldogs won when scoring fewer than 50 points. Georgia has failed to reach the half-century mark just 20 times during Landers 31 seasons in Athens, and the Lady Bulldogs had lost all previous 19 contests before the decision over Rutgers. Trio joins starter sorority When Georgia welcomed a top-five recruiting class to Athens this fall, the question became more of a when as opposed to an if scenario as to who the first first-year starter would be. During the first five games of the campaign, Jasmine James, Jasmine Hassell and Anne Marie Armstrong become the 63rd, 64th and 65th freshmen to get the nod during Andy Landers 31 seasons at UGA. In addition, 21 freshman standouts got the nod for their collegiate debuts. James logged her first start at Chattanooga, Hassell did so versus State and Armstrong started against Texas A&M-CC. Four of the Lady Bulldogs five returning letterwinners Ashley Houts, Christy Marshall, Angel Robinson and Meredith Mitchell are included on that ledger, with Houts also being one of the 21 to open their careers on the floor for the season opener. Mitchell making a mark Meredith Mitchell rewrote her previous career-high statistical marks on a nightly basis during the first three games of the year. Mitchell s highest contributions as a freshman in were eight points, five rebounds and 26 minutes. In the first three games the season, Mitchell bettered those marks and the subsequent new efforts a combined seven times. The Midfield, Ala., native upped her scoring mark to nine and her minutes tally to 27 against Oklahoma. She then bested the board tally to six and the MP to 35 at Chattanooga. Against Rutgers, Mitchell topped all three existing qualifiers with 11 points, eight rebounds and 40 minutes played.

5 Lady Bulldogs vs. Game Notes Page 5 Mitchell then also improved her career steals high with six thefts versus State, the fourth contest of the campaign. A historic Houts homecoming With Georgia trailing by six and 30 seconds left in the first half, Ashley Houts took control of her homecoming at Chattanooga. She scored 13 straight in a victory played just 15 minutes from her hometown. The Trenton, Ga., native knocked down a three-pointer to cut UTC s lead in half before the intermission and then scored Georgia s first 10 points in the first 3:24 of the second period to give the Lady Bulldogs a lead they would never relinquish. Houts not only propelled Georgia to victory, she also furthered her own individual legend in Lady Bulldog Basketball annals. Houts three-pointer with half a minute left in the first half moved her past Pam Irwin- Osbolt into the No. 26 spot among the Lady Bulldogs career scoring leaders. Houts eventually finished with 21 points against the Lady Mocs, enough to also ascend past No. 25 Carla Green and No. 24 Cynthia Collins on Georgia s career scoring leaders ledger. With a combined 80 more points in Georgia s last five outings, Houts has now scored 1,194 points in a Lady Bulldog uniform to ascend over Alexis Kendrick at No. 23 and Sherelle Warren in the No. 22 position. An eternity of bench time Ashley Houts checked out with 1:41 left at Chattanooga on Nov. 19 to the boisterous cheers of more than Dade County 500 fans from her hometown of Trenton, less than 15 minutes from the UTC arena. The 101 seconds she did not play against the Lady Mocs was longer than the amount Houts enjoyed in all 14 SEC games combined during the season (67.6 seconds). JJ in records already Jasmine James hit six threes against Chattanooga to equal the fifth-most triples in a game in Lady Bulldog history. James has hit 16 three-pointers in the first six games, nearly 30 percent of the way to the Lady Bulldog freshman record of 54. Lady Bulldogs return to pre-season Associated Press poll AP Pre-season Polls Season Rank Season Rank Georgia opens the campaign with a pre-season Associated Press ranking of No. 21, ending a one-year hiatus from the initial AP poll for the first time since the early-80s. Last fall, the Lady Bulldogs were not ranked in the first AP poll for the first time since Jimmy Carter was President and Herschel Walker was wrapping up a freshman campaign that turned him into a national phenomenon. The pre-season edition of the AP poll was released on Nov. 25, just months before Ronald Reagan would take up residence on Pennsylvania Avenue and four days before Walker capped the Bulldogs undefeated regular-season with 205 rushing yards in a victory over. Georgia went on to defeat Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl to capture the national title. The following fall, Georgia was listed No. 12 at the opening the season, which also represented UGA s first-ever AP ranking of any kind. Upstart Andy Landers had just begun to make some noise in Athens, leading Georgia to the 1981 WNIT Championship and landing Janet Harris, the top-ranked prep prospect in the country. Since then, Georgia has been a mainstay in the polls. The Lady Bulldogs had been ranked in 27 straight pre-season polls, including 21 times in the top 10 as outlined in the column to the right. FYI, the Lady Bulldogs were in the No. 32 position among the teams receiving votes in the pre-season poll but never moved into the rankings during the season...also another first since Fourth ranked W in opener The victory over No. 13 Oklahoma was the fourth time the Lady Bulldogs have opened the year by beating a ranked foe. Georgia also knocked off No. 12 Rutgers in the initial outing of the campaign when those Scarlet Knights went on to finish as NCAA runners-up. In addition, Georgia topped No. 16 Southern Illinois to begin the season and bested No. 14 Rutgers in the first game of the Lady Bulldogs 1983 Final Four season No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No NR Red, White & Blue together Georgia s Ashley Houts and Oklahoma s Danielle Robinson two of the nation s premier point guards who shared that role for the U.S. National Team that won the Gold Medal at the World University Games over the summer squared off in the season opener. Houts and Robinson virtually evenly split the playing time at point, with Robinson averaging 21.0 mpg and Houts logging 19.3 during the seven-game tournament.

Marshall s surgery goes well Christy Marshall underwent successful surgery on Nov. 17 to repair the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee that she tore during the pre-season. Marshall injured her knee in a team workout on October 13, two days before the official opening of practice. The ACL tear was later confirmed through an MRI. It rips my guts out every time a kid falls and grabs their knee, Andy Landers said the day after the injury was sustained. It s an all-too-common injury in women s basketball. My heart goes out to Christy. We re all in a state of shock at this point. Marshall started 21 of 31 games for the Lady Bulldogs in , averaging 8.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. For her career, she has played in 95 games with 28 starts and produced averages of 7.7 points and 3.6 rebounds. As a freshman, Marshall was named the 2007 SEC Sixth Woman of the Year.
