Georgia Looks to Rebound at Missouri in SEC Women’s Basketball Clash

COLUMBIA, Mo. (Interstat) — The Georgia Bulldogs aim to bounce back from a tough overtime loss when they visit the Missouri Tigers in a Southeastern Conference women’s basketball matchup Sunday at Mizzou Arena.

Georgia (18-5, 6-4 SEC) fell 82-77 in overtime to Tennessee on Thursday, snapping a three-game winning streak. The Bulldogs are led by dynamic guard Dani Carnegie, who scored 25 points in the loss. Carnegie has been on a scoring tear, averaging 24.3 points over her last four games, including a 31-point performance at Arkansas and a 32-point, 11-rebound effort against Mississippi.

Missouri (16-9, 5-5) enters on a two-game winning streak after an 87-82 victory at Arkansas. The Tigers are powered by guard Shannon Dowell, who matched a career-high with 25 points in that win. Dowell has averaged 21.7 points over her last three contests, providing a consistent offensive spark for a team that has won three of its last four.

This game features a contrast in styles. Georgia relies on Carnegie’s high-volume scoring and a defense that has held opponents to an average of 62.3 points during SEC play. Missouri, averaging 78.6 points in its last five games, will look to push the pace and leverage its home-court advantage, where it is 10-3 this season.

The Bulldogs won both meetings last season. A victory would help Georgia keep pace in the upper tier of the SEC standings, while Missouri seeks a signature win to bolster its postseason resume.

Tip-off is set for Sunday, February 8, 2026, in Columbia.
