Cal’s 3-point shooting has led the Bears to a hot start as they enter ACC play against the Cardinal.
Head coach Charmin Smith of the California Golden Bears looks on against the Alabama Crimson Tide during the second quarter of the SEC/ACC Challenge at Haas Pavilion on Dec. 05, 2024 in Berkeley, California. But Charmin Smith, who played for VanDerveer and is in her sixth season as head coach at Cal, isn’t expecting anything less from the Cardinal: “They’re still Stanford.”
Smith never beat her mentor, going 0-10 against VanDerveer. Cal has lost 11 straight against Stanford, now coached by another former Cardinal star,“We’re a fun team,” said Marta Suarez, a senior forward from Oviedo, Spain. “We’re fast. We have a lot of great shooters, a lot of people who can score all over the place. We move the ball very well and try to find the best shot.
, and also claim wins over 2024 NCAA Tournament entries Gonzaga, Auburn and Arizona. Cal’s only defeat was a six-point neutral-site loss to Michigan State last month. Stanford is more efficient still from the 3-point arc, converting 42 percent to rank third nationally. The Cardinal also have a plus-10.0 rebounding margin, led by sophomore forward Nunu Argara, who averages 18.8 points and 7.0 rebounds.
And ESPN’s Charlie Creme is projecting Cal as a No. 8 seed into the NCAA tourney. Yes, one spot higher than Stanford.
