NCAA tournament

In its first match of the 2023 NCAA field hockey tournament, Cal lost to Miami University Ohio for the second time this season, ending the Bears' brief stint in the tournament.

Capping off a tough season for Cal women’s tennis, the two Bears that made it into the NCAA singles and doubles tournaments ended their short-lived postseason run.

While the rest of the team left the season behind after the Bears’ early exit in the NCAA team tournament, Cal’s Yuta Kikuchi still has a Herculean task against him: the NCAA singles championship.

Cal’s ability to stay consistent against tougher competition will be put to the test against the Missouri Tigers as the quest to become national champions begins.

Despite fighting in a tough battle against the USD Toreros, the Bears lost 4-1 in the first round of the NCAA tournament 4-1.

A record-tying seven programs from the “Conference of Champions” are selected for the Big Dance, how will they fare? Women’s basketball beat writers Kenzo Fukuda and Jane Kenny make their predictions.

Given the wonderfully unique nature of college sports, there is always an abundance of chaos. Some of the main perpetrators of this chaos are the mascots. And so, without further ado, here is a ranking of the men’s NCAA tournament top seeds’ mascots.

The 1959 championship remains the only title in Cal basketball’s storied history. Like most good things in Cal Athletics history, it came well before many of us were born. 

These six stats are indicators of success in the NCAA tournament. It’s called March Madness for a reason, though — expect the unexpected.

After helping the team finish the regular season 11-9, doubles pair Yuta Kikuchi and Carl Emil Overbeck will head to the NCAA Doubles Championship this week at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
