DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke wants to show it once again belongs among the elite teams in womens basketball. Beating No. 3 South Carolina is a good way to prove it.Rebecca Greenwell scored seven of her 29 points in the final 5 1/2 minutes, leading the Blue Devils past the Gamecocks 74-63 on Sunday.I think it shows we can play with anyone out there, Greenwell said. We knew that from the beginning of the season, but now its just showing it to others.Oderah Chidom added 15 points to help the Blue Devils (9-1) earn their first victory over a top-three opponent since they knocked off No. 3 Ohio State in 2009.I wanted to make a statement, Chidom said, and South Carolinas a great team to do it against.Duke shot 50 percent and forced the Gamecocks (6-1) into a season-worst 19 turnovers, turning them into 28 points.Coach Dawn Staley said her team played undisciplined basketball.We wanted to stay really close to Greenwell, because we know what shes capable of, Staley said. And obviously, she made us pay.Aja Wilson scored 18 points and Kaela Davis added 14 for South Carolina, which pulled to 66-60 on Bianca Cuevas-Moores 3-pointer with 1:41 left and immediately called timeout.But the Gamecocks came out of that break and put six players on the court, earning them a technical foul. Greenwell hit two free throws with 1:40 remaining, and after Duke forced a stop, Kyra Lambert added two foul shots to push the Blue Devils lead to 70-60 with 1:05 remaining.BIG PICTURESouth Carolina: The Gamecocks have plenty to work on after this -- starting with ball security. They lead the nation with averages of 21 free throws made and 30 of them attempted, but got to the line only 14 times in this one, making nine. Staley says all of her teams problems can be corrected by simply tightening things up at the defensive end. The only team to score more against her Gamecocks was Ohio State in a 92-80 loss in the opener on Nov. 14.I think if we can fix our defense, Staley said, the turnovers will help themselves.Duke: This was the kind of victory the Blue Devils needed as they try to climb back into the national rankings after some stumbles last season knocked them out of the polls. The Blue Devils had lost eight straight games against Top 25 opponents since they beat No. 12 Mississippi State two years ago in the NCAA Tournament.POLL IMPLICATIONSThis loss figures to send South Carolina dropping a few spots. As for Duke, it looked like the kind of victory that could earn the Blue Devils their first national ranking since midway through last season.KEY STATDuke outscored South Carolinas celebrated front line 42-32 in the paint.

Adelaide will give two of their brightest prospects a chance to impress in their AFL clash with struggling Brisbane.The Crows have named debutant Reilly OBrien to replace injured ruckman Sam Jacobs on Saturday, while powerful midfielder Cam Ellis-Yolmen will line up for the first time this season in place of rested veteran Scott Thompson.Its the first time fifth-placed Adelaide have added new blood to their side since they included defender Ricky Henderson in their round seven loss to the Western Bulldogs.The Crows have opted to rotate through the same group of 27 players, which are the fewest used by any side in the 2016 competition and a far cry from the likes of injury-ravaged Gold Coast (39).For players such as Ellis-Yolmen, who played 11 games in 2015, the Crows hot form and good run with injuries has proved a major obstacle to senior selection.Adelaide assistant coach James Podsiadly says the 23-year-olds inclusion against Brisbane presents him with an opportunity to be considered for the finals.From the match committees perspective, weve been looking at him all year, Podsiadly said on Friday.Hes shown some resilience to wait until rouund 20 to get his first game.ddddddddddddYou can say hes a bit unlucky, but at the same time weve had some good guys in some good form.We wouldnt pick him if we didnt think he could have an impact in finals.Breaking into the side has proven even tougher for OBrien.First-choice ruckman Jacobs had notched up 93 consecutive games - the second-longest streak in the AFL - before being ruled out for the Brisbane game with a sprained ankle.OBrien will go head-to-head with another rookie in second-gamer Archie Smith, who accumulated 30 hitouts and 19 touches in his debut against Port Adelaide last week.Crows captain Taylor Walker, who was sidelined for a week with an ankle injury, has also been added for the Saturday night clash at Adelaide Oval.He replaces rookie forward Mitch McGovern, who will be managed after playing every game this season.With just two wins to their name this season, Brisbane could be in for more pain after conceding the highest score of the year in their 25.23 (173) to 11.13 (79) loss to the Power.
