The LSU Tigers will look to get back on track on Thursday night, and with Morrow's availability in question, it certainly draws for concern heading into the matchup.

She has recorded 15+ rebounds in 13 games this season while playing a key role for LSU to average over 19 second chance points per game. Morrow ranks No. 2 in the country with 5.3 offensive rebounds per game.

The star forward is averaging 18.1 points per game and leads the country with 14.4 rebounds per game and 22 double-doubles.

With four games left in the regular season, LSU is looking to secure a top-four finish in the conference and a double-bye for the SEC Tournament.

The Tigers are in currently in third place and still have games against fourth-place Kentucky in Lexington, fifth-place Alabama in Tuscaloosa and sixth-place Ole Miss for senior-day in the PMAC.

The Tigers are coming off a loss in a top-five matchup at Texas. LSU led by 12 with four minutes left in the third quarter, but the Longhorns battled back to beat the Tigers.

Flau’Jae Johnson, Aneesah Morrow and Mikaylah Williams each scored 15+ points, but no other player for LSU scored more than three.

Morrow notched her fourth game this season with 20 rebounds and Johnson extended her double-digit scoring streak to 36 games.

Georgia has struggled this season as one of three SEC teams with only two wins in conference play this year. The two teams Georgia has beat – Arkansas and Missouri – are the two other team with just two wins in SEC play.
