What 2 Watch 4
• The Cowgirls will look to remain undefeated on the year when they host USC on Friday at 7 p.m. inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
• Saturday's game will be the fifth of six regular-season home games for OSU in November and will continue a seven-game homestand.
• The Cowgirls are riding a 28-game winning streak at home against non-conference opponents.
• OSU is 38-3 in November since 2006.
• Junior Liz Donohoe enters the contest 20 points shy of becoming the 21st 1,000-point scorer in school history.
• If and when Donohoe reaches the plateau, it will mark the third consecutive season a Cowgirl has done so.
• Toni Young scored her 1,000th career point two years ago and Tiffany Bias followed last season.
• LaShawn Jones has scored in double figures in three of OSU's four games. She logged three such outings in 47 career games prior to this season.
Last Time Out
• LaShawn Jones scored in double figures for the third game in a row.
• Tiffany Bias' nine assists moved her past Oklahoma's Dionnah Jackson into 10th place on the Big 12's all-time assist chart. She now has 612.
• The contest was the first this season in which OSU did not have four players score in double figures.
Know The Foe
• USC is off to a 3-0 start, which is its best since the 1998-99 season.
• The Trojans have one local tie on their roster in senior Desireé Bradley, who is an Oklahoma City native.
• Senior Cassie Harberts appeared on the John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top 30 list.
• The two teams have met twice previously with each squad winning once.
• USC emerged victorious in 1986 in Salt Lake City, while OSU won in Stillwater in 1995.
