South Carolina’s women’s basketball team will face off against No. 3 USC today at 1 p.m. in Greenville’s Bon Secours Wellness Arena, a matchup that pits the top-ranked Gamecocks against one of the nation’s strongest contenders. The game will air nationally on ABC, with Ryan Ruocco and Rebecca Lobo providing commentary and Holly Rowe reporting courtside.
South Carolina enters the matchup undefeated at 3-0, having already secured three possible Quadrant 1 wins, including a 65-44 victory at Clemson on November 12. The Gamecocks’ season began with a 101-93 win over Maryland in Paris and an 84-39 rout of North Carolina in Charlotte. Their strong start reflects the team’s consistency under coach Dawn Staley.
USC also boasts a 3-0 record, energized by the return of JuJu Watkins, who missed last year due to a knee injury. Watkins has made an immediate impact, averaging 24.3 points per game through three contests. Her presence adds a significant threat for the Trojans as they prepare to challenge South Carolina on neutral ground.
The game will be available to stream on Fubo, which offers a free trial for new subscribers, as well as on the ESPN app and ESPN Unlimited. South Carolina’s schedule remains packed with competitive games, including upcoming matches against FGCU, Providence, and UConn throughout November. The January slate features high-profile contests against Texas, Mississippi State, Arkansas, and Kentucky.
This Sunday’s game is one of several early-season tests for the Gamecocks, who continue to build momentum as the season progresses. Their ability to maintain defensive intensity and offensive balance will be tested against a USC squad led by Watkins’ scoring prowess.
The match will provide a clear measure of both teams’ early-season form and could influence national rankings heading into December. South Carolina’s efforts to extend their unbeaten run will collide with USC’s ambition to assert themselves among the nation’s elite.
With tipoff at 1 p.m. and national coverage on ABC, basketball fans will get a chance to see two top-ranked teams compete in a high-stakes contest in Greenville.
