NOTABLE: CU comes into this game looking to rebound from a 78-74 loss to Utah on Sunday in Boulder. … Cal is looking to end a three-game skid, all against ranked opponents. … Cal leads the all-time series 10-7, including 4-3 in Berkeley. CU has won two of the last three meetings, however, including 64-59 in Berkeley on Feb. 12, 2017. … Leonard needs three assists to pass Chucky Jeffrey and Mandy Nightingale for third on CU’s career list. She enters the game with 481 for her career. … Senior guard Brecca Thomas averaged 11.0 points off the bench for CU last weekend. … CU will once again play without Janea Bunn, a junior forward who was a regular starter until missing five of the last six games for personal reasons. Bunn will not play in either game on the Bay Area trip.
