I know nothing about the Cal team. Have not seen them play.
Looks like Cal plays about 7 deep so I don't see them with a big depth advantage.
They start 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, 5-10 and 5-9 so they will have a size advantage but not overwhelmingly so. My guess is they are a pretty athletic team.
There starting lineup is:
6-3 Sr. F Reshanda Gray leads the Bears with 17.5 PPG and 7.2 RPG
5-9 Sr. G Brittany Boyd 13.3 PPG and 7.7 RPG and also leads the Bears with 6.8 APG and has 94 steals on the year
6-2 Fr. G Mikayla Cowling is at 10.1 PPG and 4.9 RPG
5-10 So. G Mercedes Jefflo puts up 9.5 PPG and 3.1 RPG
6-2 Fr. G Gabby Green contributes 6.6 PPG and 5.7 RPG
Primary Reserves:
6-3 So. F Courtney Range averages 8.7 PPG and 5.5 RPG in 24 MPG
6-3 Fr. F Penina Davidson chips in 3.5 PPG and 1.5 RPG in 12 MPG
It looks to me like Brittany Boyd is Cal's slightly smaller version of Alex Harden. The only thing she doesn't do is block shots. Otherwise it looks to me like she is the player that makes Cal go. I suspect the Jamillah Bonner will probably get the primary duty of tying to control Boyd.
Not sure how Jody will choose to match up with the rest of the Bears but we may need Brittany Martin to give us more than her normal amount of minutes in the post. Perhaps spelling Alie here and there.
I would not expect that Alex, Jamillah, Kelsey or Michaela will get much down time unless foul trouble comes in to play.
Cal did lose big to a so-so Kansas team in Lawrence 39-62. And they also lost the following game at Long Beach State. Of course, those were road games. Cal was 4-4 over their last 8 games after winning 12 of their previous 14.
I think the Shocks have a shot although it will be tough. A long way from home on Cal's home court.
