Halftime Notes – Cal: 30, FS: 21

• Cal is shooting 41.1 percent (12-29) overall and 25.0 percent (2-8) from three-point range.

• Fresno State is 8 of 24 (33.3 percent) overall and 1 for 5 from beyond the arc (20.0 percent). In the past three games, the Bulldogs have averaged above 30 percent or better from three-point range. Stopping the treys will be key for the Golden Bears in the second half.

• Ashley Walker is leading all scorers with 15 points. With this many points, she could be on course to lead the Bears through the whole game (knock on wood). She has been the Bears' leading scorer three times in four NCAA Tournament games.

• Walker also has a team-high four rebounds.

• Both teams are 66.7 percent from the charity stripe, each making four of six attempts in the first 20 minutes of play.

• The Bears have nabbed 11 points off turnovers and 12 in the key. Cal is outrebounding FS, 18-15.

• Overall first-half analysis: The Bears are looking strong, especially in limited Fresno State’s three-point attempts. The majority of the Cal shots look good, some of them just have not been going in. The Bears just need to find their stride. Cal has led for the entirety of the game with its largest lead was 10 points, coming with 10:46 to play.
