The Iowa State Cyclones (5-1) are set to clash with the South Carolina Gamecocks (5-1) in a women’s college basketball duel on Thursday at the Suncoast Credit Union Arena in Fort Myers, Florida.
Ranked No. 15, Iowa State boasts an impressive record, but recent matchups against in-state rivals have exposed areas for improvement. The Cyclones narrowly edged past Drake with a two-point victory, following an eight-point defeat to Northern Iowa—a game that highlighted the team’s need for further preparation before diving into Big 12 competition.
Top-ranked South Carolina (5-1) has already secured key wins against North Carolina State and Clemson. However, they're coming off a surprising 15-point loss to UCLA, an uncommon stumble for a program unaccustomed to early-season setbacks, let alone consecutive losses.
