Atlanta Dream dropped Game 1 of the WNBA Finals, while No. 1 Georgia lost 27-24 to Auburn, Georgia Tech fell 34-24 to Virginia Tech, Georgia State lost to James Madison and Kennesaw State lost to Missouri.

What to watch: Atlanta seeks its first home win in its next date, the Dream turn to Game 2 and Georgia awaits updated rankings.
