In her first game, Amoore posted an impressive double-double, setting the tone for a remarkable start.
As the games progressed, Amoore continued to dazzle, leading Kentucky to decisive victories. Her speed and agility allowed her to effortlessly navigate defenses, while her precise passing facilitated scoring opportunities for teammates. Amoore's three-point shooting proved particularly lethal, stretching defenses and opening up the court.
Through five outstanding performances, Amoore has averaged an impressive 15.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game. Her impact extended beyond statistics, as she brought leadership and energy to the Wildcats. Amoore's chemistry with teammates has grown with each contest, forging a formidable unit.
Georgia's remarkable beginning at Kentucky has ignited optimism among fans and pundits, anticipating a successful season. She has the Wildcats 5-0 and ranked 15th in the AP poll through the first 2 weeks of the season. With her exceptional talent and determined spirit, she has the Wildcats set up for a strong run in the Southeastern Conference and potentially the 2025 NCAA Tournament as well.
