Georgia (16-6, 3-4 SEC) boasts 6-foot-3 senior forward Tasha Humphrey, an SEC and National Player of the Year candidate.
She is averaging close to 17 points a game while also leading the team in rebounds, hauling them down at an 8.8 clip on the season.
Arkansas hopes to revert back to its winning ways at home, and hopes to continue to get a strong scoring effort from Brittney Vaughn.
Vaughn has scored in double-figures in every SEC game for the Lady'Backs this season, including 14 on Sunday in the loss to South Carolina.
Thursday's tipoff has a unique flair as the Lady `Backs have announced it as 'Think Pink' night at Bud Walton Arena.
Pink T-shirts will be sold up to and during the game Thursday to raise awareness and funds in the battle against breast cancer. A portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the Komen Foundation.
"This is a cause close to many of our families and to all women," Collen said. "We hope we'll see lots of folks with their pink shirts to support both the Lady `Backs and the fight against breast cancer."
