Holding teams down

• Only one team has scored more than 65 points against the 'Dogs this season (Washington, 85). Fresno State allowed four teams to score more than 80 during the 2015-16 season. All four games resulted in losses. Washington scored the most of any Bulldog opponent that season (89).

Time to shine

• White has recorded two of the team's top three scoring performance this season, a career-high 21 points versus UC Irvine on Nov. 26 and 19 points at No. 13 Washington on Dec. 4.

Taking charity

• Sophomore Candice White (23-of-24) ranks fourth nationally in free-throw percentage.

• White opened the season with 18 consecutive free throws which is the most on record to start a season by a Bulldog dating back to the 1983-84 season. Records are not available prior to the 1983-84 season.

• Fellow sophomore Breanne Knishka also has only one miss on the year (13-of-14), but she does not meet the required number of attempts for an NCAA ranking.

Same player, new year

• It may be another year but junior Bego Faz Davalos is looking like her old self early in the season. Through seven games, the center's numbers are on par or slightly up from last season as she is averaging 15.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.7 blocks, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals.

• Faz Davalos leads the Bulldogs in points, rebounds, blocks, assists and is second steals.

• She ranks fifth nationally in double-doubles with five and ranks fourth in program history with 21.

• Faz Davalos has registered double figures scoring in 19 of her last 20 games.

Access denied

• Bego Faz Davalos currently leads the NCAA in blocked shots per game (4.7).

• On Nov. 18 versus CSUN, the 6-foot-3 center tied her career high with 10 blocks. Both 10-block games resulted in triple-doubles.

• She has 11 more blocks this season than she did last year through the first seven games.

• Faz Davalos' 33 blocks ranks second in the NCAA in total blocks.

• Her 3.58 blocked shots per game in her career is second among NCAA active leaders.

• With Faz Davalos' help, the 'Dogs rank No. 17 in the NCAA in blocks per game (6.4) and No. 23 in total blocks (45).

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 71.7 percent of those games (33-13). The Bulldogs' record when scoring between 60-69 points is 21-10.

• This season, the 'Dogs have won each of its games when scoring more than 60 points (4-0).

Breaking 3-point curse

• During the past two seasons, Fresno State has struggled in the win column when making six or more 3-pointers. The Bulldogs' record in such games during the first two seasons under Jaime White was 10-11.

• The 'Dogs have seemingly reversed the trend this year by holding a 4-0 record when knocking down at least six 3's.
