With five consecutive losses in January, the Bulldogs changed their game completely around this month. Earlier this month, the team had its first overtime of the season.

 

On Super Bowl Sunday, the team rallied together and won 81-78 to No. 25 Tennessee. Though Georgia kept the crowd from going to watch the Falcons and Patriots. The team put on a show for Georgia fans. The game went into double overtime until the Bulldogs claimed the victory.

 

One more game in left for the regular season. The Bulldogs will travel to Gainesville this weekend to take on the Florida Gators.

 

“The thing about this team that I am so proud of is that we’ve learned from it,” head coach Joni Taylor said. “Here we are sitting in that huddle in overtime and we’re confident. We’re confident in what we can do and I feel good about where we are going into the tournament.”
