COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Alaina Coates cant imagine a better post duo in the country than she has with South Carolina teammate Aja Wilson.Shell get no argument from Clemson after the two combined for 39 points, 20 rebounds, seven asissts -- mostly to each other -- and six blocks in the sixth-ranked Gamecocks 83-61 victory Thursday night.The high-low is great, Coates said. I mean, weve got the best high-low duo in the nation. The fact is were doing better getting each other the ball.And the overmatched Tigers (8-2) had little chance of preventing it as South Carolina (8-1) won its seventh straight in the rivalry series.They have a ton of weapons and theyre really tough, Clemson coach Audra Smith said. The inside game is impossible to stop.Wilson finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Coates had 19 points and 10 rebounds for her sixth double-double in nine games this season.Wilson and Coates combined for six points when South Carolina came out of the break with a 17-6 run. The Tigers (8-2) could not respond.South Carolinas rivalry win streak ties the longest in series history, matching the run Clemson had from 1996 through 2001. Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley also improved to 4-0 over her former college teammates at Virginia, Clemsons Smith.Wilson added four assists and two blocks while Coates added three assists, two steals and four of South Carolinas season-high 11 blocked shots. Kaela Davis had 17 points for South Carolina.Nelly Perry had 20 points to lead the Tigers. They lost their second in a row after opening 8-0.Clemson was shorted-handed before things started with its two leading rebounders in forward Kobi Thornton and Aliyah Collier limited by injuries. Thornton was out after hitting her head Monday night in loss to No. 25 Oregon. Collier, who averaged 7.9 rebounds this season, played just three minutes because of continuing knee problems.Smith said she expected Collier back for her next game. Thornton, who had returned from a concussion when she hit her head again, could take a bit longer.THE BIG PICTUREClemson: The Tigers started the season 8-0 against non-Power Five opponents. The Tigers, though, have lost their past two to No. 25 Oregon (87-59) on Monday night and the rival, sixth-ranked Gamecocks. While Clemson has improved -- its already doubled its four-win season from 2015-16, it is not yet ready to consistently play toe-to-toe with its better opponents. And there are plenty of those coming up once Atlantic Coast Conference play starts next month.South Carolina: The Gamecocks certainly dont look like the team yet thats rolled to the past three Southeastern Conference titles. Their post duo of 6-foot-5 Wilson and 6-4 Coates are strong and engaged. On the perimeter, though, there are questions. Kaela Davis and Allisha Gray have looked like All-Americans sometimes and been non factors at others. Point guard Bianca Cuevas-Moore has also struggled at taking over the on-court leadership role that Khadijah Sessions handled so well the previous few years.ALL CHANGINGTalk about differing ways to win. The Gamecocks used 16 3-pointers (second best in program history) to blow past Minnesota last Sunday. This time, South Carolina made just four of 14 long-range baskets while relying on its inside advantage to defeat Clemson. Weve got a lot of ways to win, Staley said. Weve got to take advantage of them.HEY, ROOMIEStaley and Smith were roommates for a short stretch at Virginia in the late 1980s until Staleys night-owl tendencies did not mesh with Smiths early-to-bed style. Each sought more suitable people to live with. But theyve remained good friends since college and Staley was impressed with Smiths building program. Im happy for her and the program, Staley said. Even though theyre our rivals, we want to see all South Carolina teams do well.UP NEXTClemson returns home to face South Carolina State on Sunday.South Carolina closes a three-game home stand against No. 9 UCLA on Sunday.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The New York Mets will send ace Noah Syndergaard to the mound on Sunday in an attempt to split their four-game series with the San Francisco Giants.The Giants will counter with 10-game winner Jeff Samardzija in the game that has been picked to be televised nationally by ESPN on Sunday night.The Mets had lost four of five on their trip and were experiencing pitching issues before veteran Bartolo Colon helped turn things around with 6 1/3 strong innings in Saturdays 9-5 win.The Giants had opened the series with 10-7 and 8-1 wins.But that was before Yoenis Cespedes got his power swing working again.After a 15-day stint on the disabled list and a one-hit return on Thursday, the slugger bombed a pair of home runs to highlight Saturdays win.The first of the two home runs went 457 feet, one foot shy of the being the longest hit at AT&T Park this season.He makes such a big difference, Mets manager Terry Collins gushed after Saturdays win. Its nice to have him back.The Mets had three home runs in the game, giving them 29 in their last 20 contests. The Giants, meanwhile, have allowed 47 homers in their 33 games since the All-Star break, the second-most in the National League.Neither starting pitcher in the series finale has had any success against Sundays opponent in his career.Syndergaard has faced the Giants twice and lost both games, allowing eight runs in 11 2/3 innings. Neither of those outings were at AT&T Park, site of Sundays start.The 6.17 ERA is Syndergaardds highest among teams against which hes started at least twice.ddddddddddddThe second-year standout can expect the Giants to attack him where hes weakest -- holding baserunners.The Giants have gotten back in a base-stealing mode since acquiring Eduardo Nunez from the Minnesota Twins at the trade deadline. San Francisco has 11 steals in 15 attempts in August after totaling nine all of last month.Syndergaard is on pace to challenge the all-time record for most steals allowed in a season. Hes allowed a major-league-high 40, which is two-thirds of the way to Dwight Goodens record of 60, set in 1990.The Giants probably will go Sunday without their hottest hitter, and one of their best base-stealers, Angel Pagan. The ex-Met experienced tightness in his right groin while chasing a fly ball in Saturdays game and had to be pulled in the fourth inning.We had it checked out and hes fine, Giants manager Bruce Bochy reported after the game. Hes probably going to need a day (off), and we think hell be OK.Samardzija has struggled even more against the Mets than Syndergaard has against San Francisco. He has faced New York nine times in his career, three times as a starter, and has come away with an 0-3 record and 8.72 ERA.The record is Samardzijas worst against all opponents; the ERA is his second-highest among clubs against which he has started two more times.
