Tennessee Lady Vols Aim to Rebound Against Struggling Georgia

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Lady Volunteers (21-7, 8-7 SEC) will look to reverse their fortunes in their final home game of the regular season against the Georgia Bulldogs (11-18, 3-12 SEC) on Sunday, March 1, at noon. Coming off their worst performance of the season, a defeat against an undisclosed opponent on Thursday, the Lady Vols need a decisive win to secure a better seed in the upcoming SEC Tournament.

A victory against Georgia could elevate Tennessee to the 7-seed, but they require an Ole Miss loss to complete the leap, according to SEC standings. Georgia, wrapping up a disappointing season, recently managed a win against Auburn, but their overall record indicates struggles throughout the season.

The matchup will feature a live broadcast nationally on SEC Network, with Sam Gore and Tamika Catchings providing commentary from Thompson-Boling Arena. Fans seeking streaming options may choose platforms offering free trials for new subscribers.

The Lady Vols aim to capitalize on Georgia’s struggles, coming off a tough loss. Coach Kellie Harper emphasized the importance of regaining the team’s identity ahead of the postseason, stating, “This is a crucial moment for us to find our rhythm heading into the tournament.”

With the March Madness spirit in the air, some are predicting a significant turnaround for Tennessee in this matchup. Statistics suggest that the Lady Vols should dominate this game, particularly after their recent misstep. Their performance will serve as a critical test of their preparedness for the challenges of the SEC Tournament.

Further down in the SEC, the South Carolina Gamecocks (26-3, 14-1 SEC) are also concluding their regular season at home against the Kentucky Wildcats (22-5, 11-4 SEC) at 2 p.m. from Colonial Life Arena. A Gamecock win could potentially solidify their 1-seed in the SEC Tournament if Texas also loses on Sunday. This matchup will air on ESPN while streaming is available on various platforms.

Both teams are also on a quest for momentum as they approach the postseason. As the stakes rise for each game, athletic department officials and fans alike are gearing up for an electrifying finish to their regular seasons.
