Undefeated Georgia Faces VCU in Richmond Showcase RICHMOND, Va. (Interstat) — The undefeated and No. 1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs put their perfect record on the line Friday against the VCU Rams in a non-conference women’s basketball game at The Diamond. Georgia (11-0) enters as one of the nation’s hottest teams, boasting an average margin of victory of 28.5 points. Their dominance is led by guard Dani Carnegie, who is coming off a triple-double performance. In Monday’s 77-49 win over North Carolina A&T, Carnegie logged 36 minutes, scoring 20 points with 10 rebounds and six assists. She has scored 20 or more points in four of her last six games. The Bulldogs’ resume includes decisive wins over Power Five opponents Florida State (80-60) and Georgia Tech (87-59), as well as a ranked victory over then-Kansas (68-62) during the Paradise Jam tournament. VCU (4-7) seeks a program-defining upset after snapping a five-game losing streak with a 69-63 home win over American on Tuesday. The Rams’ success hinges on guard Laia Crespin Pastor, who played a season-high 35 minutes against American, contributing seven points and six assists. Her increased role will be critical against Georgia’s stifling defense. The Rams have struggled offensively against high-major competition this season, including losses to Texas A&M (78-66), Colorado (69-58), and Temple (88-63). Defensively, they will face their toughest test yet against a Georgia squad averaging 78.5 points per game. This matchup is part of a neutral-site event in VCU’s home city. Georgia will remain in Richmond to face Coppin State on Sunday, while VCU prepares to host Penn State at the same venue Saturday. Friday’s contest tips off at 7 p.m. EST. Georgia leads the all-time series 2-0, with their last meeting occurring in 2007.
