Senior guard Chimere Jordan netted 23 points in the win, her third straight game with at least 20 points. Junior forward Tammeisha Law dropped in 12 points respectively, all in the second half. GC shot well at 43 percent overall, while gaining an impressive 46-31 advantage on the rebounds.
The night, however, belonged to senior guard Dominique Huffin. 'Nique poured in 13 points to become the schools 12th member of the 1,000 point club in Georgia College women's basketball. Huffin currently stands at 1,011 going into Thursday's contest vs. Wingate University (6-3).
After possibly the best display of basketball last time out versus Newberry, Georgia College will have to quickly turn the page and get set to play the Bulldogs in day two, game four of the tourney.
Here are some keys for Georgia College to prevail:
1) BREAK THE PRESS: Last night I had the opportunity to watch Wingate, a South Atlantic Conference member, do battle against UNC Pembroke (PBC, just like GCSU). I was impressed with the full court pressure Wingate head coach Barbara Nelson installed for her team. The press itself is fundamental, aggressive, and causes problems for other teams. Georgia College will have to handle ball pressure well to win the ball game.
2) KEEP TRACK OF KURIE WASHINGTON: The junior guard is dropping down 16.7 per night for the Bulldogs. Washington is very talented from the inside, but can also play from the perimeter too. The Bobcat defense will have to make sure Washington does not control the Bulldog offense.
3) CONTEST SHOTS: Wingate shoots the ball well as a team at a 40.2 percent rate. Therefore, it is imperative to close out and contest shots the Bulldogs will get from anywhere on the floor.
4) KNOW WHAT'S AT STAKE: Although not a conference game, the game against Wingate (and last time out versus Newberry) all have implications toward the NCAA Southeast Regional rankings. The top 8 teams get an at-large bid at season's end to the NCAA Tournament. You do not want to drop one of these games and have to look back at season's end with wishful thinking.
