ATHENS, Ga. – Hall of Fame coach Andy Landers leads Georgia into a tough non-conference matchup with TCU. Landers and his young Lady Bulldogs roster are eyeing a return to both the Top 25 Polls as well as the NCAA Tournament. The key to tonight’s game per Landers is containing the TCU perimeter “dribble drive” game.
Ed’s Note: Georgia’s pregame warmup mix is nice. The best part is a short video on the program’s accomplishments set to the Wale track, “Ambition.”
