REPLAY: QSL Basketball - Gold Coast vs USC (Women's) 80-61
Rip City have already established themselves as a competition favourite and are looking to bounce back after they received their first loss of the season against the Southern Districts Spartans last week.
After speaking with Courier Mail's Brayden Heslehurst earlier this week, Head coach Ben McGlynn said he was confident his team could get back on track this weekend.
"We are travelling well at the moment and like everyone, we're trying to get bodies on the floor and get rotations sorted," he said.
"Gold Coast are always tough at home and with size, length and athleticism, they cover plenty of bases.
"Matching physicality and energy early is key for us, they have plenty of guys who get out and fill the lanes, so limiting their transition opportunities will be something we need to look at."
