Is this true?



Not really that surprised given the departures.

Cal cannot even field a team with all the transfers out...

Tyson does it all! After that, Celestine + Curtus + Larson + the three walkons. Then hold a campus-wide tryout for the five remaining spots. Hype the hell out of it and parlay that attention into more good fortune down the road. Nowadays, no publicity is bad publicity.

We don't have any starters transferring out and those that are haven't left yet. You'd think the seniors might like a go of it.

Pretty good group of programs that apparently told the NIT no. Just shows you how important the transfer portal is. The NCAA tournament is the goal. If you are not in that tournament doing everything possible to find the needed players so you will be is essential.

They watched a replay of the sheet show the Con put on the last time hosting an NIT game, and were too embarrassed.

"...the NIT will guarantee two teams (based on the NET rankings) from each of six conferences (Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern). The top two teams in the NET rankings not qualifying for the NCAA men's basketball tournament from each conference, regardless of win-loss record, will be selected."
https://www.ncaa.org/news/2023/10/27/media-center-nit-announces-changes-to-tournament-selection-format.aspx

So after the NCAA selections, the NIT invites for the Pac12 would have been from this list i this order:
Utah (48) accepted
Washington (69) Note: Oregon was 59 and so unlikely to have been in NCAA without the conference championship
USC (88)
UCLA (107)
Stanfurd (113)
Cal (128)
ASU (134)
OSU (165)

Probably Madsen wants to use the time for recruiting. Cone and Daws probably would have played.Not sure about Tyson. That may have been the deciding vote.

I would have enjoyed going to a game but understand the decision.
Go Bears!

Agree. Anyone who still wants to see Cal basketball should go to the Women's WBIT which has much better teams than the Men's NIT

Maybe a good chance to see your first Cal WBB game?

If anyone needs tixs let me know

It's really dumb that the portal opens before the postseason tournaments are done. Basically encourages this kind of thing.

Indiana State's team is in the NIT and their coach has spent the last few days negotiating with St Louis U about taking their head coaching position. Coaches do this before the tournament is done; players should be able to do the same.

There's no reason for the portal being this early, as the next academic term isn't till Fall. The players that want to leave can wait till April.

You think players, but not coaches, should have to wait.
