WHAT TO WATCH FOR
... The Gamecocks have made easy work of their first three opponents and are facing a Clemson team that is struggling out the gate. USC has won it's three games by an average of 29 points a game.
... A victory would give the Gamecocks their best start in Dawn Staley's five seasons at the helm. That would be the best start since the 2002 when they won eight games to start the season.
... A victory would also be the third straight over the Tigers. USC has won five of the past seven meetings.
... Rebounding has been key for USC. Even being undersized, they are averaging 19.7 more rebounds than their opponents.
... USC should have Elem Ibiam back after the center missed the passed two games with a head injury. Tiffany Davis may miss the game after injuring her knee against Savannah State.
... Clemson has the nation's fourth most inexperienced team. They only have 10 years of experience among the 12 players on the roster.
... The Tigers two losses have been by a combined 5 points.
