BACK IN ACTION:

• Following Monday night's game in Spokane, USF has officially made up both games that were postponed due to COVID-19 protocols as the Dons have played the most conference games of any team in the WCC.
• It was a great week for USF's leading scorer Ioanna Krimili as she has now scored more than 1,000 points in her college career as she broke out in a big way with 25 points in the Dons' win over Pepperdine.
• Since being moved to the starting lineup in conference play, Dickie has been a rebound machine for USF as she leads the Dons with 6.8 boards per game that's also good for sixth overall in the WCC.
• On the defensive side, USF has received tremendous work on the interior from Lucjia Kostic who's currently tied for eighth in the conference in blocks per game.

SCOUTING THE TIGERS:

• The Dons thrived in their first meeting with UOP this season as they scored a season-high 88 points and matched the school record for made threes with 15 against the Tigers in SF.
• UOP has struggled throughout the season as they currently sit at the bottom of the conference standings with a 2-8 record in league play. 
• The young Tigers squad has received solid performances this season from two freshmen in guard Anaya James and forward Elizabeth Elliot. James leads the Tigers in scoring at 13.8 PPG while Elliot leads Pacific in rebounds per game with an average of 5.6 boards this season.
• USF's offense could be in store for another strong night as the Tigers' defense is allowing the most points in the conference at 75.9 points per game.

SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS:

• USF and Gonzaga battled tough in their first meeting on Monday in a low scoring defense battle with the Bulldogs pulling away late for the 55-49 victory.
• The Zags enter this week's slate of games with a 9-1 record overall in the WCC good for second place in the league's standings.
• In the first matchup both team's defenses came to play as USF did a tremendous job of limiting the offensive production from redshirt senior guard Cierra Walker and junior guard Kayleigh Truong.
• Gonzaga presents a strong contrast for USF as they're allowing the fewest points in the conference at 54.8 per game.
