The California Golden Bears women’s basketball team (12-9, 3-5 ACC) will try to keep the good times rolling tonight when they host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish women’s team at Haas Pavilion in Berkley, CA. Fans can follow the action once the game gets underway at 10 p.m. EST, with coverage provided by the ACC Network (Extra).

Cal will take a two-game win streak into the contest. They last played on Sunday, beating Stanford 7-71 in overtime in front of a home crowd. The Lady Bears are not too far removed from a dreadful stretch that saw them lose six of eight games (December 14-January 15).  That stretch concluded with a 90-87 loss in 3OT vs. Syracuse. They have since won their last two. As for Notre Dame, the Fighting Irish are one of the top offensive teams in the country (No. 21, 80.1 points per game), powered by Hannah Hidalgo averaging 24.9 points per game. They’ll come into tonight’s game losing three of their last four, including a 65-58 defeat courtesy of the Clemson Tigers.  However, the other two losses came against No. 9 Louisville (79-66) and No. 1 UConn (85-47).

Our California Golden Bears vs Notre Dame Fighting I. Prediction

Notre Dame is not the same dominant force it was last season, but it still has the potential to be one of the most explosive offenses in the country. That is, as long as Hannah Hidalgo is active and hitting her shots. Cal’s defense is nothing special, so I expect her to do just that.

Our Notre Dame vs. Cal Pick: Notre Dame -6.5
