Alabama’s Moody to retire

Tuesday February 22, 2005

Rick Moody, head coach of Alabama’s women’s team, announced on Tuesday that he will retire after the 2004-2005 season. Since 1989, Moody has led the Tide to eight NCAA Tournaments and the 1994 Final Four. He positioned Alabama as a consistent SEC force in the mid-1990s, reaching five consecutive Sweet 16s. He will retire with over 300 wins at Alabama.

A reminder – the game time for Sunday’s season finale with Vanderbilt has been moved to 2:00 p.m. ESPN2 will broadcast this game.


Entering the final week of the season…

Tuesday February 22, 2005

We’re into the final week of the regular season, and there are just two games remaining on the schedule. Georgia will travel to Gainesville on Thursday for a rematch with Florida, and they will close the season at home against Vanderbilt on Sunday.

Despite Sunday’s loss at Ole Miss, the Lady Dogs control their own fate for securing both an opening round bye at the SEC Tournament as well as the #3 seed in the tournament. LSU and Tennessee all but have the #1 and #2 seeds wrapped up at this point. Georgia and Vanderbilt are currently tied at 8-4 in the league, so Sunday’s game could very well determine third and fourth place. Keep an eye on Ole Miss as well. At 7-5, the Rebels are just one game behind Georgia and Vanderbilt and could create some interesting tiebreaker situations and possibly work themselves into a bye if UGA and/or Vandy were to slip this week.

After Ole Miss, there is a logjam of six teams all within two games of each other, so there definitely could be some movement in the standings between now and Sunday evening.

It should be a very interesting week! The SEC has a page with current standings and all upcoming games…


Lady Bulldog Signees Brown, Robinson Named All-Americans

Thursday February 17, 2005

Georgia basketball signees Erica Brown and Angel Robinson are among 20 players named to the Women’s Basketball Coach Association (WBCA) High School All-America team and will play in the 14th annual WBCA High School All-America game, presented by Nike, on Saturday, April 2 in Indianapolis, Ind.

“I think that both Angel and Erica are very deserving, as both are generally regarded as top-15 players in America,” Andy Landers said. “They’ve had terrific years, and I’m sure they’ll do well in the All-America game.”


Lady Dogs hang onto third place

Tuesday February 8, 2005

It wasn’t easy, but the Lady Dogs exacted some revenge against Kentucky on Sunday behind a career-high 32 points from Tasha Humphrey and remained in third place in the SEC standings. Alexis Kendrick moved into eighth place on Georgia’s career assists list during the Kentucky win.

At this point in the season with LSU and Tennessee undefeated in league play, it would be difficult for Georgia to move into second or first place. Georgia has four SEC games remaining:

  • vs. South Carolina
  • at Ole Miss
  • at Florida
  • vs. Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt and Ole Miss are right behind Georgia in the SEC standings. Florida took Tennessee to overtime last week and can play with most anyone in the league, especially in Gainesville. The Lady Dogs control their destiny for third place and an opening day bye at the SEC Tournament, but some difficult and important matchups remain on the schedule.
