After a time out, Memphis State cut the lead to 18 with Kori Gourley's three-pointer at the 3:26 mark, yet scored only rour more points ine remainder of the game en route to a 25 point USC victory. Although the score didn't reflect it, the size of the Memphis State front line created some problems for the Lady Gamecocks defensively, Wilson said. "They're a tough team for us to play against because their big girls are quick and fast, probably more so than their guards. They can really get up and down the floor quickly, and they put some pressure on us there, which is different from most teams." The Lady Gamecock's home stand continues Monday night at 7 against Metro foe Southern Mississippi and Thursday night against No. 7 Georgia. Of Southern Mississippi, Wilson said, "It's going to be tough, maybe our toughest so far. They've beaten some good teams early and won on the road. . . we've got to play them tough and solid, because regardless of how tough Monday is, Thursday (against Georgia) is going to be tougher."
