No lead in the ACC is safe:
SMU led Pitt 32-7 after the first quarter,, 49-18 at the half
But,
Final: Pitt 72 SMU 59

Pittsburgh 72-59 SMU (Jan 12, 2025) Final Score - ESPN

One of the best quarters we've played all season. Up 29-13 after 1.

A pretty good first quarter: Cal 29 FSU 13. Largest lead for the Bears.

The level of focus and execution is so high. Twidale is on target. Abigor playing like a star.

I'm guessing about 1500-1700?

I was there Thursday and based on the numbers vs. what I see now on TV, looks spot on to me.

Nice moment..Amaya and Michelle touching hands quickly while Amaya was waiting for the ball to be inbounded and Michelle was on the bench

424 to go in half - teams have settled down. Cal missed several shots, but FSU can't hit either (good Cal defense!)
Cal up 15: 35-20

Ackerman in - and Anastasia saw the floor - so Smith is using her bench more than the NCS game.

We are simply blowing them out right now. Twidale 3 makes it 45-22

Wow - some great thrilling moments!
Cal 45 FSU 22 1:40 to go

Ackerman with offense and defense.
Noble and Williams with defense.
Fast breaks started by stealing in bounds.

Just. Wow.

BearBloke got out of Alta Bartes about 1 p.m., swearing that he was up for the game. Well...no. So I'm watching it on-line while he catches up on a week's worth of sleep. Go, Lulu!
"Don't get distracted, myself. Don't get distracted." Self-talk from a young relative

Lulu hits a three to put Cal up 50-25 and my feed of the game goes out! "Technical difficulties" (I hope it is just truly technical difficulties and it's not an earthquake or something like that)

God, Lulu is marvelous. The calmer she seems, the more fiery her 3-point shooting.

I think it's just half-time kicking in. There, now the ads are back.

Abigor being able play at such a high level when replacing Michele has been a huge new asset.

The half-time ACC predictions report with Ivory Latta* was weird: filmed a week or two ago? She had N.C. State and FSU finishing in the conference's top 5.

*North Carolina's all-time leading scorer.

Those Stephen Curry fast breaks are not good for the heart...but the Bears made the 3s, so...

Cal is playing like they really want this.

Their defense has been swarming, leading to run outs and that's when it rains 3s.

Ackerman and Abigor very active and playing well. Noble with her usual defense...sometimes it seems there are 2 of her out there.

Bonner is scoring well with 11 points so good for her.

Can't ask for a better first half...but Cal had better come out focused because you know FSU got read the riot act.

Cal held their leading scorer to 3 first half points?!

Replay from a few days ago (saw it some time before the NCSU game)

After Bonner shooting poorly in warmups, she has been their best offensive player

Michelle dominating

Indeed. I don't expect Cal to execute quite this well against Duke, but I do struggle against the occasional delusion that west-coast basketball can never be as good as east-coast. (Ridiculous, considering the success of UCLA and USC.)

72-46 after three. Bears kept foot on the gas for much of the third and pushed lead out to 34 - still won the third!
And Latson still has no field goals?
Go Bears!

Things got really sloppy from there with some really bad passes and shots. Hopefully the dominance will resume in the 4th.
