Puff is still listed as out, as is KK Bransford, 5'11" guard, ND's 4th leading scorer who has been out since December 11. Leah Macy is also listed as OUT, but I believe she has missed the whole season.

Both teams will be going with six player rotations. I think that Cal has a chance to pull an upset if they can contain the Fighting Irish superstar.

Nope.
Cal will also call upon Naya, Lola and Claudia. Just like the Stanford game. That's eight.
Btw, the statistics keeper has not updated the 21st game vs Stanford.
I was thinking that Cal had six players that potentially can score in double-figures. Lola Donez & Claudia Langarita don't contribute much to the offense.

Lol.
That's not what you originally posted.
From a Cal WBB Instagram post earlier today, it's Lola's birthday today. So, maybe she'll do some scoring tonight.
BTW, it won't be pretty in Palo Alto with Louisville there...both Agara and Lopolo are out
Good fast paced 1st qtr 24-20. Gotta grab the boards and watch the turnovers
Great energy here at Haas. Maul's hitting virtually everything tonight.
43-33 at the half.
Hope Barnes ok, stepped on Walker's foot.
Shepard playing a good game
Hidalgo with a wild 1st half

Looks like an ankle for Taylor. Helped to the locker room
Bears +10 at the half and are playing a scrappy game...not perfect but the energy is there.
Hope they can do the same in the 2nd half.

If Taylor is out for the 2nd half we're in trouble already look tired
Cal leads by 10 at halftime, 43-33. ND is not a strong rebounding team but Bears are not screening off the boards. The Fighting Irish has 8 more offensive rebounds than Cal and has forced five more TOs. The result is that Notre Dame has had 36 shots versus only 22 for Cal. They have missed some easy shots, and I don't know that we can continue to shoot 64% from the floor. Barnes stepped on Walker's heel and hurt herself. Hopefully, she can return in the second half. ND is playing tough defense. I'm surprised that the Bears have scored 43 points against them.
------------------------------------------------------------
Cal leads by 8 heading to the final stanza. Hidalgo hit three consecutive baskets late in the 3rd to twice cut the Bear's lead to two points. This will tight down to the end. The bulk of Moore's 5 treys are over Twidale.
It wasn't close down the stretch and Bears triumph over the Irish, 80-69. IMO, Sheppard became the leader of the team tonight against Hannah Hildago. She earned a hard-fought double-double with 18 points and 10 assists. All four players that had double figures were key as was Lola Donez with a career high 9 points.
GO BEARS!
Louisville dominates Stanford, 84-66.

Ok looked at the numbers...
Cal is shooting the lights out...even though -14 in FGAs and -8 in O-boards.
But shooting 64%, 6-7 on 3s and 9-11 FTs covers up for those.
My fear is ND cranks up the D and the Bears have droughts...
But so far, so good.

Donez in for Barnes to start 2nd half
Taylor is in a boot
We've stopped taking care of the ball here in the 2nd half. We'll lose another first half lead if we don't wake up.

That twin tower lineup w/ Walker and Langarita was not working...
Trying Naya and Sakima now

That lineup won't work. Glad Charmin pulled the plug. FYI- Looks like Barnes will not be returning =(
8-2 run at end of 3rd - 60-52 after 3 quarters
Gotta figure out who's gonna be that 5th player on the floor

Barnes on crutches. No bruno.
Bears withstood ND Q3 push...
Maul went down but got back up - cannot afford any more injuries...
Mjiracle is a calm cool character...

DONEZ!!!
LOLA!
Incredible, gritty win. Go get some rest, Bears. Everyone looks gassed!
NIce W 80-69

too bad this team is NOT marketed to students & the bay area marketspace despite a FUN team due to a dysfunctional co athletic director that's more interested in getting paid $500,000 to be a fan & not someone who actually grows the fanbase & sell tixs which is their actual job
jenny, did you ever offer words of encouragement/support to the suicidal women's swimmers that had to endure years of mentally abuse because of your enabling this darkest period of cal athletics??

Mainly by the bigs. The 2 post offense has to be -10. Naya continues to show why she doesn't get playing time against strong teams. Lola saved the day. Mjracle slowed down Hidalgo, ran the offense efficiently and provided energy. Gisela had another solid game including two critical 3's to stop their momentum

california golden bears 80
notre dame fighting irish 69
the bears (13-9) wuz the deeper roster & mjracle sheppard led her teammates with 10 assists along with 18 points on a highly efficient 7 of 10 field goals
gisella maul is playing lockdown d along with scoring 16 points & is a legit contender for the acc's most improved player award
it's a shame that this FUN college women's basketball program is not growing the fanbase particularly with students which is critical for building a pipeline to future season tix buyers/donors (nil supporters) but that just validates the truth that just winning basketball games won't fill up the stands at haas pavilion without innovative targeted marketing campaigns in today's 6 second market economy
and that's never gonna happen with the current co athletic director ****tards jay & jenny (each making just south of $500,000 at a time of serious budget challenges in berkeley) who have worked against both the football & basketball programs for years
when is rich gonna throw out the trash??#

Solid win - main concern is Taylor Barnes and how long she will be out. Cal is running out of bodies...hopefully Puff can come back in the next week or so - this is the 5th or 6th week for her.
Does Lola gets the start on Sunday? She hit the most important shot of the game - the corner 3 in front of the Cal bench.
Mjiracle was magical. Even though she had 6 TOs, Hidalgo had 7. Mjiracle more than held her own - arguably she was the better player tonight. Hidalgo scored a lot at the end on close in or mid-range shots when ND needed 3s, so I'll take that.
Gisella was solid. Sakima was a defensive presence; Naya for the most part was ineffective because of ND's size advantage.
Cal shot many more FTs (ND is very physical on the perimeter); ND had many more FGAs (15 O-boards to 3 for Cal). Offset.
Neither team went to the bench much so it was pretty much mano-a-mano for most of the game.
The difference? Cal had one of the best shooting games. 62% FGs; 10-14 on 3s. Unreal. If only the Bears could shoot 75% on FTs...
I'll add one point: when Cal can break the paint, their offense is so much better. Perimeter passes and risky entry passes only get you so far...
Very solid game - game balls to Mjiracle and Lola.

Another fun night at Haas. An incredibly gritty performance especially considering losing Taylor. Lola -- the birthday girl -- came through big time, her late three sealed the deal. Fantastic work from everyone and credit to the coaches. This team has real character and has learned how to play down the stretch. That's two games in a row where they held together in the 4th quarter. Amazing shooting night, over 70 per cent on threes. Good crowd too. Hoping for good news on Taylor. And oh by the way...Go Bears!!!
Gritty Palms of Victory! Heal, Taylor.

I also note that despite the boot and crutches, Taylor B. didn't seem upset. Let's hope for an ankle sprain or something; she is so solid and mature.
