This team is attempting to find itself after graduating its top three scorers from a 17-15 squad last season. The top returning scorer is former BOD star, Myah Pace, who averaged 5.7 ppg as a freshman. Once again this team has been starting four guards and a 6-0 PF, Brossman, from Germany. The Toreros also rotate in a 6-1 center, Soares, from Brazil. They have a 6-7 post from Poland that does not play. USD also has frosh 6-2 PF, Nicole Blakes, from Archbishop Mitty, but she is injured.
Their guards possess good height in Pace (5-11 SO), Pollack (6-1 JR), Shepard (5-11 SR) & Hunter (6-0 SO). A
5-10 freshman, Oakry, is the first guard off of the bench. The Toreros had their offensive breakout game yesterday (82 points) so they may have an extra bounce in their step today.
My prediction is that Cal should dismantle this inexperienced team by twenty points or more. The Bears are led by a trio of seniors and possess experience. The Bear's other opponents so far had returned their top players from the prior year. Those teams were settled into their "game" so to speak. SD has won both of their home games in squeakers so they could hang around in the 1st half for as long as Cal permits. I believe Cal will score more than their 29 point average in the 1st half today and will average 20 points per quarter (40 in the initial twenty minutes)
in a potential blowout. GO BEARS!
