Cal baseball travels to the revamped Pac-12 tournament as the lowest seed

The Bears got back on track with two resounding midweek victories — 14-2 over Nevada and 9-3 over Saint Mary’s. Cal now boasts an 11-3 non-conference record, a sign of a solid club, if not the nearly completely opposite 3-12 conference record.

With four consecutive losses — most recently a loss on the road against Utah — and a 1-2 conference record, the Bears will be looking to win both matches if they want to turn their momentum around and have a winning record in the Pac-12.

Cal men’s tennis is in a losing slump, with its 4-2 loss against then-No. 40 Utah on the road marking its fourth consecutive loss.

In their two games in Southern California this past weekend, the Bears fell both times, first to the Waves of Pepperdine and second to the Gauchos of UCSB.

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.

This weekend, Cal traveled to Utah and Colorado to begin Pac-12 play. Going 1-1, the Bears played two impressive matches to improve their overall season record to 4-5.

Sometimes the end is disappointing, and while fans may feel that way about the Friday meet, it was a beautiful end and a very deserved Ute victory.

Numbers tell meaningful stories. Let’s consider Cal’s Saturday away meet against Utah — two teams whose numbers divulge stories of strength, improvement and skill. These numbers can tell you many things.

The Bears hold all the cards to preserve their undefeated record and gain some precious momentum in the middle of this XVs season.
