No. 4 South Carolina went on a 32-0 run in the first half and beat No. 15 Iowa State 76-36 in the Fort Myers Tip-Off on Thursday. 

The Gamecocks put a complete game together. Gamecocks was focused on defense and their defense gave them energy on offense. South Carolina's PaoPao was guarding 94ft and the perimeter defense was too much for Iowa State guards to feed the post.  Dawn Staley believes PaoPao WNBA stock went up after today's game. 

Joyce Edwards had 13 points and 11 rebounds for South Carolina (6-1), and Sania Feagin scored 13.

Audi Crooks had 13 points and nine rebounds for Iowa State (5-2), and Mackenzie Hare scored 12 for the Cyclones.

The tournament in Fort Myers continues Saturday, with South Carolina facing Purdue and Iowa State facing Middle Tennessee State.
