Mocs report: UTC got back in the win column Wednesday with a 15-point defeat of a quality Liberty team. Williams led four Mocs in double figures with 15 points, and the team shot well, making 46 percent of its shots and going 9-for-18 from 3-point range. Holding the Flames to four second-quarter points and 17 in the first half didn't hurt, either.
Billikens report: Saint Louis dropped its third consecutive game Tuesday, falling by 11 in overtime at Tulsa. Frantz and Harbison are the team's primary scorers, with Frantz providing the Billikens' main long-range threat while Harbison does most of her work inside the 3-point line.
Key matchup: From a defensive perspective, the Mocs are right on track, even with their youth. As the season has gone on, they've started to find their shooting stroke. Tulsa was the first team to hit better than 40 percent from the field this season against Saint Louis, so the Billikens will provide a stiff defensive challenge. It will be important for the Mocs to build on Wednesday's solid performance with another one this afternoon.
