Georgia Amoore Selected to USA Today All-SEC First Team

LEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Kentucky women’s basketball point guard Georgia Amoore has been selected to the USA Today All-Southeastern Conference First Team, it was announced by the outlet Tuesday.

The Wildcat is one of five players named to the elite list, which also includes Aneesah Morrow (LSU), Madison Booker (Texas), Mikayla Blakes (Vanderbilt) and Flau’jae Johnson (LSU).

Through 28 games in 2024-25, Amoore is averaging 18.8 points, 2.4 three-point field goals per game and 6.9 assists per game. Her 6.9 assists per game are currently third in the nation and the most in the Southeastern Conference.

If the season ended today, Amoore’s 6.9 assists per game would rank second in program history, and close to breaking the more-than-four-decade-old school record (7.1). Amoore, who has 192 assists total this season, also needs just 18 more assists to break the single-season school record. No Cat has even cracked into the top 10 since Amber Smith in 2009-10, while Amoore is currently third.

The Wildcat has scored in double digits in all but one game this season, while she has scored at least 20 points in 12 games this season. Moreover, she has knocked down at least three 3-pointers in 12 games, and she has dished out at least seven assists in 18 games.

In fact, she has produced 18 games this season with at least 15 points and five assists, which is more than any player in the Southeastern Conference since at least 2002-03.

Earlier this season, Amoore set the school record for most games with at least seven 3-pointers in a single season with three (Belmont, Mississippi State, at Oklahoma).

Her stats this season are even better in league action.

Through 16 SEC games, she is putting up 20.4 points per game, 2.4 3-pointers per game and 6.6 assists per game.

Amoore has recorded 326 points and 106 assists in the SEC. Therefore, she has contributed – either by scoring or by assists – to nearly 50.0 percent of points in league action.

For her career, she is the only current DI player – men or women – to have at least 2,000 career points (2,379) and 800 assists (848). The Wildcat also is the third player in DI women’s basketball history to have at least 2,300 career points and 800 career assists, joining Caitlin Clark (Iowa, 2020-24) and Sabrina Ionescu (Oregon, 2016-20).
