It feels bad right now.
Because for weeks I’ve been trying to deny the data.
Yes, I’ve been presenting the obvious: that all signs point to a Cal women’s team that is a fringe top 25--fringe top of the conference--squad, but has not shown that it can beat top level competition.
And here we are.
The Bears are 0-8 against top 50 RPI teams or, if you prefer, teams that are likely to make the NCAA tournament. They are 15-0 against everyone else.
Conclusion should be pretty easy, right? Pretty straightforward to predict what’s going to happen against better squads.
