As all Fastbreakers know, the Lady Bulldogs have been forced to play long stretches of their last three games without their veteran point guard and team leader as Ashley Houts (pictured) has been forced to the bench with a nagging ankle injury. In today’s Georgia/LSU preview on the team’s official website, Coach Landers had this to say about Ashley’s injury and her status for tomorrow night’s LSU game: “Ashley has a sprained ankle, and it’s a pretty good sprain. We made the decision on Saturday that we would not put her at risk very much on Sunday against Auburn. We decided that we would start the game with her because that might comfort our team a little bit and that she might finish the game. She will not practice this week, but she will be available to play in games. We’ll continue that until it’s in her best interest to do more.”
