Their best player, 6-5 Maori Davenport (#23), is not playing. Why is Cal playing 12 players instead of attempting to have a strong game before facing a strong SMU team. Evelien Schipholt is 3 for 11 and has missed five layups or putbacks. Bears have missed 8 layups. Ornela Muca comes in and shoots 0-5. The reserves that have played well have been Bush, Heide and Ortiz. Once again, Cal is not getting to the free throw line (one missed FT). Jayda Curry, Kemery Martin & Mia Mastrov need to drive to the basket more often.
Arkansas Pine Bluff is shooting above its averages. Cal needs to pick up the pace and win going away (IMO).

ARKPB 51, CAL 84 - FINAL (statbroadcast.com)Cal did play much better in the second half. I predicted an 80-50 outcome. The final score was 84-51. Arkansas Pine Bluff did not have their top player today, however. SMU beat APB earlier this week by 29 points w/ her.
It would appear that Cal will face a tough opponent tomorrow in the Mustangs of Southern Methodist.
