The Georgia women’s basketball team will host the 4th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks for a 7 p.m. tipoff in Stegeman Coliseum tonight that will be televised on the SEC Network, and UGA is going for a ‘Red Out Game’ against their SEC foe; with the first 1,500 fans in attendance set to receive a free red t-shirt..

 
 
The Lady Bulldogs are looking to snap a three-game losing skid, while South Carolina has won 11-straight games since its only loss of the season at Duke on Dec. 4.
 
 
These two teams met just two weeks ago in Columbia in a game that turned out to be a nail-biter. The Lady Bulldogs led by two with just over four minutes remaining and had a chance to tie it with just seconds left before South Carolina hung on for a 66-63 win. The last two meetings between these programs have been decided by a total of 13 points (USC won 61-51 last season).
 
 
Following her 26-point performance against Florida on Sunday, senior Pachis Roberts has taken over as Georgia’s leading scorer coming into this game. After averaging just 5.0 ppg in her first three years at the collegiate level, Roberts is in the midst of an impressive senior season, upping her points per game average to 14.2 ppg.
 
 
The Lady Bulldogs have had considerable success against conference teams at home under head coach Joni Taylor, boasting a 7-4 home SEC mark, including six wins in the last seven games, during that time.
