Georgia's Basketball Journey Begins in Orlando

Game One: Georgia vs Tulsa

The Lady Bulldogs have a unique history with Tulsa. They have faced the Golden Hurricanes only once, and that was way back in a different era. Currently, Tulsa enters the game with a 1-2 record after losses to Missouri State and Oral Roberts. For Georgia (3-2), this game is a crucial opportunity to turn the tide. Trinity Turner has been leading the scoring charge, with a career-high 28 points against Georgia Tech, the best single-game performance by a freshman since 2018.

As the game approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting the action. The atmosphere at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla., is expected to be electric. Georgia's players are focused on putting their best foot forward and securing a win.

Injury Updates

Georgia will be without some key players on Thursday. Redshirt sophomore guard Savannah Henderson, Kentucky transfer/redshirt senior forward Nyah Leveretter, and freshman forward Mia Woolfolk will not be available. There is no set timetable for their returns, leaving the team with a bit of a challenge. Woolfolk was injured in the season opener against NC Central, where she led the team with 18 points and 13 rebounds. However, sophomore center/forward Fatima Diakhate returned last week after missing the first three games due to an undisclosed injury.

The team will have to adapt and find ways to compensate for the absence of these players. Coaches and teammates will need to step up and fill the void to ensure the team's performance is not affected too much.
