Through 26 games, Cal has put together a respectable NCAA Tournament resume:
- 18 wins
- 9-5 conference record
- No losses to teams outside the RPI top 100
The one glaring weakness? A lack of quality wins. The Bears are 0-5 against top-25 RPI opponents and 1-6 vs. top-50 RPI teams.
That could change Wednesday night when No. 6 Oregon comes to town. At 24-4 (13-2), the Ducks rank sixth in the RPI and are, by all accounts, one of the most talented teams in the country.
