A look at Boise State

• Boise State sits second in the conference in assists (15.6) and steals (8.4) per game.
• Three Boise State players average double figures in scoring, led by Brooke Pahukoa's 12.6 points per game. Also in double figures is Marijk Vanderschaff (10.7 ppg) and Shalen Shaw (10.2 ppg).
Looking ahead
• With Saturday's results, Fresno State will play be the No. 6, No. 7 or No. 8 seed and play on Monday at next week's Mountain West Tournament.
Closing in on 1,000
• With seven points, junior Bego Faz Davalos will hit the 1,000-point milestone for her career.
• Faz Davalos will be the 23rd player in Fresno State history to record 1,000 points, and the first since Alex Sheedy in 2015.
Dynamic duo
• Fresno State's offense has been led this year by the duo of junior Bego Faz Davalos and sophomore Candice White. The two are averaging a combined 29.7 points per game, nearly half of the team's total offense of 61.9 points.
• The two rank as the third-highest scoring duo in the Mountain West behind San Jose State's Dezz Ramos and Jasmine Smith (34.8) and New Mexico's Cherise Beynon and Richelle Van Der Keijl (30.0).
• The Bulldogs are 14-6 on the year when both score in double figures, but are 1-5 when one or both does not hit the mark.
Chasing 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 71.9 percent of those games (41-16). The Bulldogs' record when scoring between 60-69 points is 26-13.
• This season, the 'Dogs are 12-3 when scoring more than 60 points.
Holding teams down
• The Bulldogs have held its opponents to 60 points or less in 12 of its 15 wins.
• Only three teams have scored more than 70 points against the 'Dogs this season (Washington, 85; New Mexico 80; San Jose State 77 and 74). The Bulldogs have lost all four games.
• Fresno State allowed four teams to score at least 80 points during the 2015-16 season. All four games resulted in losses. Washington scored the most of any Bulldog opponent that season (89).
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 8-4 record when knocking down at least six 3's, with three of those losses coming in the team's last three games.
Erasing deficits
• Heading into its last game of nonconference play, Fresno State was 0-3 when trailing at the half. The Bulldogs reversed that trend at Weber State, turning a six-point halftime deficit into a three-point win.
• Fresno State is 6-6 when trailing at the half since the Weber State contest and is 18-21 under Jaime White.
• Since the start of conference play, Fresno State has outscored its opponents by 61 points in the third quarter (+4.1).
• Against Nevada (Jan. 21), Fresno State outscored the Wolf Pack by 22 in the second half, its largest margin in a second half versus a Division I opponent since Washington State on Nov. 30, 2012 (+27).
Same player, new year
• It may be another year but junior Bego Faz Davalos hadn't seen a drop off from last year. Through 27 games, the center's numbers are on par from last season as she is averaging 14.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.5 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.6 steals.
• Faz Davalos leads the Bulldogs in rebounds, blocks and steals, and is second in points and assists.
• She has recorded at least four blocked shots in 11 games this season.
• In conference, Faz Davalos ranks first in rebounding (11.0)and blocks (3.5), second in offensive rebounds (3.7), defensive rebounds (7.2) and second in field-goal percentage (.539), seventh in scoring (14.6) and eighth in steals (1.6).
Doubling up
• She ranks sixth nationally in double-doubles with 17 and is second in program history with 33.
• With 17 double-doubles this season, she set a new single-season program record, breaking her own which she set during the 2015-16 season with 14.
• Faz Davalos is nearing the Mountain West single-season record which sits at 20 by Linda Froehlich of UNLV (1999-2000).
Time to shine
• After playing in 11 games as a freshman, and logging 6.3 minutes per game, Candice White leads team in minutes (33.7) and points (15.1), is second in rebounds (5.5) and assists (2.1), and third in steals (1.5).
• She has reached double figures in scoring in 23 of 27 games.
• White has recorded four of the team's 11 20-point scoring performances this season, including a career-high 25 points at Nevada and 21-point games versus UC Irvine and CSU Dominguez Hills.
• The 25-point effort (9-of-13) was the most points by a Bulldog since Alex Sheedy scored 25 points against Wyoming on Feb. 25, 2015.

Taking charity
• Prior to missing three free throws versus CSU Dominguez Hills, sophomore Candice White ranked fourth nationally in free-throw percentage. She is currently No. 19 at 87.6 percent (78-of-89).
• 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.
• Still with two regular-season games remaining, in site for White is Jessie Farias' single-season school record for free-throw percentage which stands at 86.5 percent.
