LSU women’s basketball to open SEC Tournament against Georgia on Friday

The Tigers will begin their postseason run against the Bulldogs, which defeated Auburn on Thursday night.

The No. 2-seeded LSU women’s basketball team will begin its postseason run on Friday evening at the SEC Tournament against the No. 7-seeded Georgia Bulldogs (21-10, 9-7 SEC) in the quarterfinal round at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

The 27-1 LSU Tigers went 15-1 in conference play, earning a double-bye as a top-four seed. The Bulldogs advanced to the quarterfinals by virtue of a 63-47 win over 10th-seeded Auburn on Thursday night.

These two teams faced once during the regular season, an 82-77 overtime win back on Feb. 2. Since then, UGA has won five of six games with the lone loss coming to the same South Carolina team that handed the Tigers their lone defeat.

Tip-off for Friday’s game is set for 5 p.m. CT, and it will be televised on the SEC Network.
