While all the talk of the 2023 NBA draft has been about Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson, two top prospects not in the NCAA, there are several NBA-caliber players looking to make their mark in the madness of March.

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.

The sophomore combo-guard from Corona, California, who has led her team in points since 2021 and whose image is plastered around the UC Berkeley campus, has decided to part ways with Cal.

After an excellent first half full of life and energy, the Bears fell apart in the third and fourth quarter as they were defeated 61-49. This marks the third year in a row Cal women’s basketball has failed to get past the first round of the tournament.

After an up and down year, the Bears head to Las Vegas for the 2023 Pac-12 Tournament, set to play Washington State in the first round, with their season on the line.

After a rough first half in which the Bears were outscored 35-20, Cal was unable to find any momentum to mount a comeback attempt.

In a game that went to the wire against No. 25 USC, the Bears displayed remarkable personality to win their first game against a ranked opponent on Senior Day.

With rematches versus the Bruins and the Trojans this weekend, Cal women’s basketball hopes to finish the season with a winning record at home in what has otherwise been an underwhelming year.
