AIKEN, S.C. - The eyes of the women's college basketball nation will be upon the Convocation Center this weekend with the 18th-ranked USC Aiken women playing host to a nationally-televised top 20 showdown with No. 5 Clayton State at 12 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 15.

Both teams enter the nationally-televised encounter riding double-digit win streaks. USC Aiken is currently in the midst of a 10-game winning streak, while Clayton State has yet to lose and enters Saturday's game having won 14 straight games.
