The University of Georgia women's basketball team is headed to the NCAA tournament as the No. 10 seed in the Seattle Region.
They will face off against No. 7 seed Florida State on Friday in Iowa City, Ia. The Lady Bulldogs won eight of their final 11 games before the tournament, with their only losses coming to No. 1 South Carolina and No. 3 LSU.
Led by All-SEC and All-Defensive Team member Diamond Battles, Georgia finished tied for fifth in the final SEC standings after being ninth in the preseason poll. Head coach Katie Abrahmson-Henderson's teams have made 12 NCAA tournaments in her 18 seasons as head coach, and they have now made 10-straight postseason appearances.
This year's tournament marks Georgia's 36th trip to the NCAA tournament in 41 years, tying them with Stanford for the second most NCAA bids among all Division I programs. The Lady Bulldogs also rank fifth in NCAA tournament games played (92) and seventh in tournament wins (58). The Lady Bulldogs will face Florida State, a team they have dominated in the past, owning an 8-0 series lead against them. The two teams last met in the NCAA tournament in 2011.
If Georgia can get past Florida State, they will face off against either No. 2 seed Iowa or No. 15 seed Southeastern Louisiana on Sunday. The first game will be Friday, March 17th at 1:30 pm.
