• White has recorded three of the team's top five scoring performances this season, career-high 21-point games versus UC Irvine and CSU Dominguez Hills, and 19-point showing at No. 13 Washington on Dec. 4.
• In conference, White is seventh in scoring (14.3), second in free-throw percentage (88.9), fifth in steals (2.0), sixth in 3-point field goals made per game (1.9), and second in minutes played (32.9).

• Fresno State has posted double-digit block totals twice this season, with 13 against CSUN and 12 versus CSU Dominguez Hills.
Quick starts...slow finishes
• Fresno State has shown this season that starting quick has been a part of its DNA. The Bulldogs have reached at least 30 points in the first half in seven of its nine games this season. This has resulted in the 'Dogs oustscoring opponents by 63 points.
• The Bulldogs, though, have struggled to maintain those quick starts in several of their games. The 'Dogs have shot 9.4 percent lower from the field and 7.3 percent lower from 3 during the second half this season. The result has been being outscored 29 points.
Looking for 60
• With the strength of Jaime White's teams being on the defensive side of the ball, a benchmark for its offense has been to score 60 points. Under White, Fresno State has won 72.9 percent of those games (35-13). The Bulldogs' record when scoring between 60-69 points is 22-10.
• This season, the 'Dogs have won each of its games when scoring more than 60 points (6-0).
Trio pacing the 'Dogs
• This season, Bulldog wins have primarily been dictated by the scoring of the Bego Faz Davalos, Tory Jacobs and Candice White. The 'Dogs are 4-0 this season when all three reach double figures.
• The trio accounts for 39.6 of Fresno State's 61.9 points per game.
