Georgia hits the road for the next two games, with the first stop coming in Nashville, Tenn. to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on SEC Network +.

 

The Lady Bulldogs have won four of the last five meetings between the two teams. In its last contest in Nashville, Georgia won at Memorial Gymnasium for the first time since 2006 with a 64-58 victory. Last year, Stephanie Paul nailed a buzzer-beater to down the Commodores, 70-68, in Athens.

 

Georgia has five wins against teams that won 20 or more games and made postseason play a year ago, with the Lady Bulldogs’ only two losses coming to top-10 squads Texas and Mississippi State.

Junior forward Caliya Robinson leads the SEC in blocked shots with 42 this season and needs just four more to pass Tammye Jenkins for seventh place on Georgia’s career blocked shots list. Robinson has recorded 159 blocks in just 71 career games played, an average of 2.2 per game.
