The Georgia women’s basketball team will play nine non-league opponents at Stegeman Coliseum, the team announced Monday. The Bulldogs’ home schedule includes Houston, Georgia State and Virginia Tech.
Georgia will begin its 2024 season on Nov. 4 when North Carolina Central comes to Athens. The Bulldogs’ only game against the Eagles came in 2008, and Georgia won 85-31.
The matchup is the first of four consecutive home games that head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson will have to play as she begins her third season with the Bulldogs. After the game against North Carolina Central, Georgia will play against Houston (November 8), Furman (November 10) and Georgia State (November 14).
From there, the Bulldogs will travel about 70 miles to play Georgia Tech on Nov. 17. Georgia has a 37-9 record against its in-state rival, but lost its last 2023 game by over 10 points. The Yellow Jackets are the only non-conference team expected to give the Bulldogs a true test on the road in 2024.
Georgia then travels to Orlando to face Tulsa and Penn State in the inaugural WBCA Tournament. The event will be held at the Walt Disney World Resort and will include Georgia, Tulsa, Penn State and Marshall.
The Bulldogs then return home to host four more teams: Prairie View A&M, Hampton, Virginia Tech – in SEC/ACC competition – and UNC Greensboro.
The game against Virginia Tech will be the first time the two teams have met in Athens. It will be against a Hokies team that was 25-8 last season but is under new management. The game is scheduled for December 4th, with a kickoff time to be announced.
After hosting four more games, Georgia will fly across the country to face Colorado State and Hawaii in the San Diego Tournament. The Bulldogs will close their nonconference season with a game against Ohio on Dec. 28 at Stegeman Coliseum.
Georgia’s home opponents in the 2024 season are Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina and Texas. The Bulldogs will travel to Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M and Oklahoma.
