Cal and Furd are the two teams with the winning streaks. Unfortunately for both, they face each other in the second game (assuming the first games go as planned). S/b an interesting game. Rebounding wins games in March so it will be interesting to see how Furd challenges KA.

Would you rather see Cal stay hot and win the PAC 12, or lose to Stanfurd and then make the Sweet Sixteen?

I think it's a tough call, but if I had to chose, I would take the Sweet 16...or Elite 8!

No question. But it might be easier to get there if they were to beat Furd and get a better seeding in the Tournament. I read somewhere that Cal is projected as a 7 seed, putting them in line to have to beat a 2 seed to reach the Sweet 16.

Cal is on the right side of the bracket, however. Oregon is on the other side. As a rule of thumb, 20
victories is usually a minimum to make the NCAA Tournament. Cal (18-11) needs two victories in the
Pac 12 Tournament if possible to ensure selection. Otherwise, the Bears could end up in the WNIT. If
the Bears end up 19-12, their seed would be 7th or lower and have to face a #2 or #1 seed in RD 2.

The Bears are one of four teams to defeat Stanford. If somehow Cal survives, Oregon State
likely awaits us in the semi-finals. The Bears led the Beavers until the 3 minute mark in Berkeley.
OSU is not unbeatable this season like in recent years. Oregon appears to be the bad match-up.

Is there a projected time table on when CJ West might be able to play, again? GO BEARS!

The 12 seed provides the easiest second game to get to the Sweet 1 in that you end up playing the 5th seed. and then the 4th. An initial 6th gets you a 3rd seed in the second game. This year not much difference between the 3rd and 4th seeds. Its the 1st,second and some of the third you need to avoid. Actually except for the top few teams, match ups will be more important than seeding.
