Single elimination basketball. The best/worst sporting event of the year.
Let’s start with the good news: Cal women’s basketball has won three in a row and five of their last six. Four of those wins have come by double digits, the last two on the road. One of those wins came over a team that might be hosting first round games in the NCAA tournament. By pretty much any measure the Bears are playing their best basketball of the year.
The bad news is that, in part due to a shooting swoon in the middle of conference play, Cal’s likely post-season paths are likely to be tough.
