Preview: Georgia Bulldogs at Auburn Tigers AUBURN, Ala. (Interstat) — The Georgia women’s basketball team, looking to solidify its postseason rĆ©sumĆ©, visits an Auburn squad seeking to build momentum from a rare conference victory when the Southeastern Conference foes meet Monday night at Auburn Arena. The Bulldogs (20-7, 8-6 SEC) enter with the stronger record but are looking to rebound from a 67-71 home loss to Oklahoma on Thursday. Georgia has lost three of its last five games, though all three defeats came against ranked opponents. Auburn (14-13, 3-11) snapped a five-game losing streak with a 71-58 road win at Missouri on Thursday. The victory was just the Tigers’ third in SEC play this season, offering a measure of confidence as they return home. The matchup features two of the league’s top individual scorers. Georgia’s fortunes will heavily rely on guard Mia Woolfolk, who is averaging 21.3 points over her last three games. She poured in a career-high 29 points in the loss to Oklahoma and has been a consistent offensive force, scoring in double figures in 14 consecutive contests. Auburn will counter with guard Kaitlyn Duhon, who led the Tigers with 19 points in the win at Missouri and scored 23 in a loss at Texas A&M on Feb. 15. Her scoring punch will be vital for an Auburn offense that has struggled at times in conference play. Georgia won the season’s first meeting, a 72-67 victory in Athens on Jan. 4, behind 21 points from Woolfolk. Auburn’s Duhon was held to eight points in that contest. For Georgia, a win is crucial to maintain its position in the upper tier of the SEC standings and bolster its case for an NCAA tournament bid. For Auburn, playing the role of spoiler at home represents an opportunity to build on its recent success and finish a challenging season on an upward trajectory. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST. Georgia travels to face Texas next on Thursday, while Auburn will host Kentucky the same night.
