Lady Bulldogs
look to improve
The last time anyone
saw the Georgia
women’s basketball
team, it was not pretty.
The Lady Bulldogs were
in the Sweet 16 pitted
against Stanford, playing
at a “neutral” site in
Sacramento, and the Lady
Cardinals handed Georgia
the worst loss they have
ever suffered in the NCAA
Tournament in a 73-36
shellacking on March 27.
Senior center Angel
Robinson was held score
less. Fellow post player
Porsha Phillips, then a
junior, was 2-for-12 with
seven points.
And senior Ashley
Houts, the Lady Bulldogs’
leading scorer and best
shooter, had an off night as
well, shooting 2-for-ll and
missing all Sve of her
3-point attempts.
So you would think a
beatdown like that would
serve as motivation in the
offseason, right?
Well, kind of.
Lady Bulldogs head
coach Andy Landers said
it has not been brought
up, since he wants the
team to focus on the
upcoming season.
That's nothing new,
however. He said he always
wants his team focusing on
the present, not dwelling
on the past.
But there is one thing
the Stanford loss showed
Georgia’s upperclassmen
they had to do: get stron
ger, and in more ways than
one.
“We’ve been working
harder in the weight room,
working at being stronger,
because Stanford was very
strong last year, physically
and mentally," Phillips
said. “So our focus is to be
physically and mentally
stronger this year. Coach
[Landers] emphasizes that
to us a lot.”
Landers also empha
sized another thing to his
squad during the offsea
son. You could almost call
it the theme of this year’s
team. What is this mantra?
“Better.”
And Landers was more
than happy to expound
upon why that is the
team’s primary objective.
“A year ago, we finished
in a tie for fourth in the
Southeastern Conference.
Let’s be better than that,”
he said. "We won 25 games,
let's be better than that.
We made it to the Sweet
16, let’s do better than
that. So the goal, in a
word, is better. Let’s be
better at everything we’re
doing, so at the end of the
year, we're in a better posi
tion than we were last
year.”
Landers knows that to
improve upon last season,
they will have a lot of
tough competition to go
through in the rigorous
SEC, where they were

picked to finish fourth,
behind SEC East rivals
Tennessee, Kentucky and
Vanderbilt, respectively.
“Kentucky isn’t a
secret,” Landers said.
"They’ve got a lot of play
ers coming back.
Tennessee has all their
kids back. Vandy has the
minority of theirs back.
LSU has probably the
deepest frontline and one
of the most talented front
lines in the country. •
They’re going to be very
good. Auburn is going to
be much improved over a
year ago. So it’s going to
be a very competitive
league.”
And once you look out
side the SEC, more tough
teams emerge.
Leading the way is two
time defending champion
and preseason No. 1 in the
Associated Press poll
Connecticut. Baylor,
ranked No. 2 and led by
dunking sensEftion
Brittney Griner, is expect
ed to be a top contender
as well, though they will
have to overcome the loss
of starting point guard
Kelli Griffin, who abruptly
announced she was quit
ting the team last Friday.
Oh yeah, and Stanford.
Remember them? They
are ranked third by the AE
“Most years, when you
think about anew year,
you think about the teams
that were there last year,”
Landers said. “And cer
tainly Connecticut has the
horses to be in the race.
Stanford has a number of
returning players and per
haps their best two players
coming back. Baylor will
be excellent. It’ll be much
of the same, but it’ll be dif
ferent, because all of those
teams lost players and
they’ll have to reshape
themselves a little bit.”
The Lady Bulldogs will
have to reshape them
selves, too, after the grad
uations of Robinson and
Houts, both of whom
ended their Georgia
careers ranked among the
leaders in many statistical
categories. And the
reshaping will have to hap
pen quickly the season
opener fbr Georgia is less
than a week away, as they
welcome Georgia Southern
to town on Sunday
Landers isn’t worried,
though.
“I’m just ready for
things to get going," tje
said.
“Better” late than never,
I suppose.
