GA wasn't awful. She scored 16 points against 5 WNBA Players.

Her shooting percentage wasn't good but 16 points is not too bad, just one 3 pt shot short of her season average, and it was against what was essentially a WNBA team. Georgia was doing a nice job facilitating in the 1st half, and she did also hit 2 nice back to back threes that contributed to Kentucky getting the 16 pt lead in the 1st half. In the 2nd half with Strack out with fouls, Mulkey started pressing and made it clear in her press conference that she made Georgia the focus of the defense to stop her from getting the ball, or at least making her work for it to tire her out and hopefully miss her shots. Mulkey's plan worked and LSU made their big run. Kentucky still fought and got the lead back though, twice towards the end of the game, one of those times on a shot from Georgia. Georgia's block on FlaJaue Johnson, followed by the steal/assist tipping the ball to herself, running around and scoring was an incredible play.

VANESSAHOKIE • 02/24/25 09:20 PM ET
The point is he relies purely on players’ talent
hokiepro • 02/24/25 07:48 AM ET
Yeah, I always felt that way about him.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/24/25 11:34 AM ET
Exactly. Recruiting is part of being a good coach
hokiepro • 02/24/25 12:09 PM ET
That is what made it fun to watch. I really enjoyed that game today.**
Blueboy • 02/23/25 10:14 PM ET
Interesting. LSU coach questions why UK women don't play in Rupp.
VTBoar • 02/23/25 09:48 PM ET
Think it was more he was impressed with the money they spent on it (85 mill
VANESSAHOKIE • 02/24/25 08:37 PM ET
Seems to me........
2hhoop3 • 02/24/25 09:01 PM ET
Seems to me the SEC media payout is what distinguishes us from them.
NokieHokie • 02/24/25 10:06 PM ET
I agree.......
2hhoop3 • 02/25/25 10:18 AM ET
Right. I guess my point is with a better media deal, we could afford things
NokieHokie • 02/25/25 10:19 AM ET
I understood.....
2hhoop3 • 02/25/25 10:38 AM ET
It should be blown up. :)**

Hokies Sr Day outdrew UK’s & they were both top 15
hokiepro • 02/24/25 01:39 PM ET
Mulkey asked honest question, she was complimenting Kenny and the fans,
carhokies • 02/23/25 11:09 PM ET
She likely meant she wanted their game yesterday at Rupp.
VANESSAHOKIE • 02/24/25 09:02 PM ET
I get her point. I mean 6250 at your game in a remodeled old coliseum
VTBUCKLEY • 02/23/25 10:35 PM ET
Women's hoops numbers fluctuate wildly...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/24/25 11:31 AM ET
Another example of volatility...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/25/25 11:42 AM ET
They have a new arena, A-A pt guard & are 21-5 and couldn’t
hokiepro • 02/24/25 05:37 PM ET
They used to charge like $1 to attend and kids were free
Jethro Tull • 02/24/25 02:15 PM ET
Ticket prices are not “up there”; they’re $15/game at window but $5 on
hokiepro • 02/24/25 05:21 PM ET
15X from 20+ years ago is "Up there"
Jethro Tull • 02/25/25 12:40 PM ET
Yep, still really cheap compared to the men's.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/25/25 11:37 AM ET
A visiting friend bought a ticket just before game time
saret • 02/24/25 07:39 PM ET
You're right, CKB/GA/LK grew the sport here at VT. I think
saret • 02/24/25 11:38 AM ET
Without Liz Kenny looks average at best. Maybe he knew that and grabbed the

George Baylor • 02/24/25 07:41 AM ET
If he was still here with GA,CS,CS we would be competing or the ACC title.
nkhooch • 02/23/25 10:57 PM ET
If GA, CS,CS, was here Coach Duffy would be competing for an ACC
Hokie-2x • 02/24/25 07:56 AM ET
No we wouldn’t. Because he wouldn’t be using Baker or Rose
hokiepro • 02/24/25 07:52 AM ET
He has them and he isn’t competing for any title **
DGHOKIE • 02/24/25 12:10 AM ET
Perhaps, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.**
RJHokie • 02/23/25 11:01 PM ET
That's my take. And he was smart to do it.**
NokieHokie • 02/23/25 10:29 PM ET
I'm more curious without Georgia
VermontDDS • 02/23/25 10:14 PM ET
My memory is less than stellar but, oops, Liz back for NCAA
WolfHokie • 02/24/25 07:10 AM ET
Liz scored 40 something and we lost because we didn’t guard FGCU
hokiepro • 02/24/25 07:51 PM ET
liz hurt her shoulder.. came back for the NCAA tournament
VermontDDS • 02/24/25 08:48 AM ET
Thanks; thought I might have been getting the game wrong**
WolfHokie • 02/24/25 09:12 AM ET
Some things just never change.**
GSOHokie01 • 02/23/25 08:16 PM ET
One coach adjusts…one gets blitzed in 2nd half
hokiepro • 02/23/25 08:21 PM ET
Mulkey called full court press at halftime and denying G the ball.
VANESSAHOKIE • 02/24/25 08:50 PM ET
Correct. Look at her head coaching record and achievements.
GSOHokie01 • 02/23/25 08:30 PM ET
She owns who? Sorry, name just not registering.**
