Georgia Amoore spent just one season in Lexington, but her impact on Kentucky women’s basketball was undeniable. Averaging 19.6 points and 6.9 assists per game, the All-American guard led the Wildcats in both categories.
She tallied at least 15 points and five assists in 21 of 31 games and shattered the program’s single-season assist record with 212. After five years at the college level, Amoore is poised to hear her name called during the WNBA draft on April 14. She could become the fifth Kentucky player to be selected in the first round, following Rhyne Howard.
Georgia Amoore Leaves a Lasting Legacy After One Season at Kentucky
In her one and only season with Kentucky, Georgia Amoore cemented herself as one of the program’s all-time greats. The All-American guard set new career highs, pacing the team with 19.6 points and 6.9 assists per game. Her five-year collegiate journey, which included a Final Four run with Virginia Tech, culminated in Lexington with over 2,300 points and 800 assists to her name.
Reflecting on her time in Lexington, Amoore noted the balance of support and respect from fans.
“You go out to a restaurant, you go out to eat, know, people are talking to you, but it’s really respectful because like, respectfully, they’ve seen stars come through the program before, you know. People, they treat you, they acknowledge that you are doing so great, but they’re not obsessive…..I could be walking down the same street that Devin Booker walked down. So it’s like, you’ve seen, people have seen these athletes here before.”

Amoore made headlines with a 43-point explosion in a win over Oklahoma, tying a school record. She connected on 15 of 22 shots, drained seven 3-pointers, and handed out eight assists in the 95-86 victory.
In her NCAA Tournament debut as a Wildcat, she delivered 34 points—23 coming before halftime—alongside eight assists, two steals and two blocks. She matched Kentucky records for both total points and 3-pointers made in a tournament game.
She tallied three games this season with at least seven made 3-pointers, tying a school best. One such performance came against Mississippi State in January, where she knocked down seven of 10 from deep and dished nine assists in a 91-69 win.

Her second double-double of the season came with 21 points and 11 assists in a win over Auburn, helping Kentucky improve to 15-1 and 4-0 in SEC play—their best conference start since 2012-13. Amoore’s season may have been brief, but her influence and achievements will be remembered long after she hears her name in the WNBA draft.
