As odd as it may seem to scratch and claw your way to an overtime win over an on-the-rise ACC program like Florida State in the semifinals of a tournament…only to find a 4-8 Sun Belt Conference team waiting for you in the finals, that’s exactly where the Lady Bulldogs find themselves heading into the Fun and Sun Classic title game. Georgia plays tournament host Florida International at 7:30 Sunday night for the championship.

The Golden Panthers lost by 20 earlier this season to Georgia’s Fun and Sun semifinal opponent FSU and they’ve also dropped a 16-point decision at home to South Carolina. The Lady Bulldogs have a definite height advantage on FIU…so look for the Golden Panthers to attempt to control the tempo of the game and fire away from outside. If Tasha and Angel get good looks down low, you have to like the Lady Bulldogs’ chances in this one.
