DONS AT A GLANCE:

• USF is looking to finish out their season on a high note after they finished fourth in the league during the regular season as they reached the WCC Tournament quarterfinals before falling to BYU prior to Thursday's game.
• The Dons will be led by their two-time All-WCC Second Team member forward Kennedy Dickie who was ranked fourth in the league with eight rebounds per game, and the WCC's Sixth Woman of the Year guard Jasmine Gayles who averaged 10.3 PPG in her second year on the Hilltop.
• Making her way back from injury that held her out for the majority of conference play, forward Debora dos Santos provided a nice impact for USF in the front court as she scored a team-high 12 points and grabbed six rebounds against BYU in her last game.
• After a season excelling at sharing the ball as a team, USF ranked second in the WCC in assists per game as they averaged 14.8 dimes per game with Jessica McDowell-White leading the way for her team with four assists per game this season.

 SCOUTING THE HUSKIES:

• Washington enters Thursday night's game with a 17-15 overall record on the season and a 7-11 record in the Pac-12. During the regular season, the Huskies played three of the same opponents the Dons faced this season as Washington fell to Santa Clara and USC while splitting with Washington State during their conference play.
• Leading the way for the Huskies this season has been the stellar play of UW's forward Dalayah Daniels, who was the team's leading scorer at 11.0 PPG on 49.8% shooting from the field to go along with 6.1 rebounds per game.
• While not one of the strongest outside shooting teams in the league, USF will need to keep their eyes out for guard Hannah Stines who shot a team-high 33.8% from three-point range this season mostly coming off the Huskies' bench.
