Cal and the women's NCAA tourney

The Bears have a shot in a conference loaded with elite teams

Transcript

00:00 Women's Pac-12 basketball is very different from men's Pac-12 basketball.

00:05 Very simply, women's Pac-12 basketball is excellent with a number of really good teams.

00:12 Not the case with men's Pac-12 basketball, which is fairly weak this year to be honest,

00:18 except with the exception of Arizona.

00:22 But having that in mind, Cal is still in contention.

00:28 They have a schedule which they should win three of their final five games.

00:33 Will that be enough?

00:35 Probably not, unless some of the other teams that are on the edge, that are just barely

00:40 in the tournament at this point, have some failings and start losing a bunch of games.

00:46 That probably wouldn't be enough.

00:47 Cal would, if they win three of their last five games and then win a game or two in the

00:53 Pac-12 tournament, that might be enough, although winning a game or two in the Pac-12 tournament

00:58 is going to be really difficult because of the number of highly ranked teams in the Pac-12.

01:04 So Cal still has its work cut out for it.

01:06 I would say its odds are less than 50/50 that it'll get in, but I'd say maybe, what, 30%

01:14 chance of getting in the NCAA tournament?

01:16 So there's still a shot.
