The SEC Greats program, established in 2001, has quickly taken on "tradition" status as a much-anticipated highlight of the SEC Tournament weekend. The program honors noteworthy performers from each school with a halftime ceremony and a special SEC Greats autograph session. Past Georgia honorees have included the likes of Bernadette Locke Mattox, La’Keisha Frett, and…naturally…Katrina McClain and Teresa Edwards.

This year’s SEC Greats selection from the Lady Bulldogs is Lisa O’Connor. Lisa will be introduced alongside all the other SEC greats next weekend at the SEC Tournament in Nashville.

Here’s a brief biographical sketch of Lisa, courtesy of the official SEC website:

Lisa O’Connor, Georgia (Basketball, 1982-86)
Lisa O’Connor was a four-year starter for Georgia teams which finished as NCAA runner-up in 1985, advanced to the 1983 Final Four and captured the 1983, 1984 and 1986 SEC Championships. She was named to all-SEC Tournament teams in both 1983 and 1986. And, more than two decades after her playing career has ended, she is still prominent in Georgia record books. Among the Lady Bulldogs’ career leaders, O’Connor ranks No. 14 in scoring with 1,509 points and No. 11 in rebounding with 728 boards. She also is No. 4 in career starts and No. 5 in games played. During her career, Georgia collected 116 wins to just 17 losses.
