How To Watch: No. 1 South Carolina at Missouri

Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks are back on the road again for their upcoming SEC matchup against the Missouri Tigers.

After what Dawn Staley termed a ''disheartening" performance against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, where the South Carolina Gamecocks struggled to maintain championship-level consistency in their 19-point win, the team will play in the 'other Columbia' tomorrow night against the Missouri Tigers. The Tigers have gotten off to a rough start this season, currently possessing a 9-6 record and losing each of their first two conference matchups against LSU and Alabama.

Missouri is a team that likes to try and beat their opponents from deep, being tied for the 46th-highest mark in women's college basketball in terms of average three-point attempts per game (24.3). The Tigers are led by graduate forward Hayley Frank, a fourth-year starter who was named a First-team All-SEC selection and is currently averaging 16.5 points, shooting 45.9 percent from the floor and 37.6 percent from behind the arc through 15 games this season.

This will be a game where the Gamecocks' perimeter defenders will be tested as far as their ability to fight through off-ball screens and stop catch-and-shoot three-point attempts are concerned. Bree Hall, Chloe Kitts, and others will have to stay on their toes defensively, considering that Missouri likes to play with four players around the three-point line.
