Just the Facts, Ma'am
USF returns to War Memorial Gym after splitting the Pacific Northwest roadtrip in exciting fashion. USF came back from a 20-point deficit to win 74-73 at Portland, powered by Alexa Hardick's banner night and a layup and free throw by Taylor Proctor with 0.7 seconds to play.

The Dons head into Thursday's contest with players producing at least 10 points per game. Taylor Proctor's 13.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game paces the Dons with Zhané Dikes (11.5 ppg), Rachel Howard (10.8 ppg) and Taj Winston (10.7 ppg, 1.7 spg) adding to the USF offense. Proficient on the road this season, the Dons enter seeking its second win at home on the year.

San Diego has three players who average double-digit scoring, led by Amy Kame's 15.7 points per game. Malina Hood (12.3 ppg) and Felicia Wijenberg (11.2 ppg, 7.5 rpg) help the offense, but defense and rebounding is the Toreros bread and butter.

The team stands in second in the WCC in both scoring and rebounding defense while posting a league-high 43.2 boards a night. Sophia Ederaine swats 2.41 shots per game, good for 29th in the NCAA, and second in the WCC.

USF scored 46 points in the period and trailed by four at the midpoint break, the most points scored against then-No. 22/17 Gonzaga in a half . Proctor and Hardick combined to go 7-of-10 from the field in the period to account for 20 of USF's 46 points.		 USF & San Diego - The Series
