No. 1 Tennessee bombs Lady Dogs
In the third game of the 1973-74 Georgia women's basketball season, which also happened to be the third game in the history of the program, coach Flossie M. Love's Lady Bulldogs were beaten 92-51 by North Georgia College.
Through 25 years, that result stood intact as the worst loss by a Georgia team. Now, in the season celebrating that first Georgia team, which finished 3-13, the record books will have to be revised.
Top-ranked, seemingly peerless Tennessee (22-0, 8-0 SEC) took control from the opening tip Wednesday night and produced a victory that there probably aren't enough adjectives to describe, ripping a cold-shooting, slow-footed Georgia team 102-43 before 11,357 fans at Thompson-Boling Arena.
"Never in my mind would I ever think we would beat a Georgia team by 60 points," said Tennessee forward Chamique Holdsclaw, who outscored the entire Lady Bulldog team 22-21 in the first half and played just nine minutes after halftime, finishing with 28.
